Ääreisessä

Ääreisessä is a Finnish word that translates to "in the periphery" or "on the edge" in English. It is a locative case of the word "ääre," meaning "edge" or "border." The word can be used in both literal and figurative senses.

Literally, ääreisessä might refer to a physical location on the edge of something, such as the edge of a forest, the edge of a lake, or the edge of a town. For example, one might say that a house is located ääreisessä of the village, meaning it is situated on its outskirts.

Figuratively, ääreisessä can describe a situation where someone or something is not at the center of attention or importance. It can imply being on the margins of society, a group, or a discussion. For instance, an idea that is considered too radical or unconventional might be described as being ääreisessä in the context of mainstream thought. Similarly, a person who is not actively involved in a particular community or activity might be described as living ääreisessä. The term can also suggest a state of being overlooked or marginal.
