väkeväyttää

väkeväyttää is a Finnish verb that translates to "to strengthen," "to fortify," or "to intensify." It is derived from the adjective "väkevä," meaning strong, potent, or vigorous. The verb can be used in various contexts, both literal and figurative.

In a literal sense, väkeväyttää can refer to making something physically stronger. For example, one might väkeväyttää a building by reinforcing its structure or väkeväyttää a plant by providing it with nutrients to make it grow more robustly. It can also apply to strengthening materials, making them more durable or resilient.

Figuratively, väkeväyttää is often used to describe the act of increasing the intensity or power of something non-physical. This could include väkeväyttää an argument, making it more persuasive, or väkeväyttää a feeling, such as love or anger, causing it to become more profound. In a spiritual or mental context, one might väkeväyttää their will or spirit to overcome challenges. The verb implies a process of deliberate enhancement and augmentation, moving something from a state of relative weakness or moderate intensity to one of greater strength and potency. It suggests an active effort to improve or amplify existing qualities.
