vierimään

Vierimään is a Finnish word that translates to "to roll" or "to spin" in English. It is a verb that describes the motion of an object turning over and over along a surface or rotating around an axis. This can apply to various physical objects, such as a ball rolling down a hill, a wheel spinning, or even a person rolling down a slope. The word vierimään often implies a continuous or repeated motion.

The verb can also be used in a more figurative sense. For example, one might say that "time is rolling by" (aika vierii), indicating the passage of time. Similarly, "thoughts are rolling around in one's head" (ajatukset vierivät mielessä) suggests a continuous stream of thinking. In certain contexts, vierimään can also describe something fluid moving, like water flowing or a crowd surging forward. The specific nuance of the word depends heavily on the context in which it is used. Its versatility makes it a common and useful term in the Finnish language.
