Äärille

"Äärille" is a Finnish word that translates to "to the edge" or "to the brink" in English. It is commonly used to describe a situation where something is at the very limit or boundary of a particular condition or state. For example, one might say "He was on the edge of his seat," meaning he was very excited or nervous, or "The company was on the edge of bankruptcy," indicating it was very close to financial ruin.

The term can also be used metaphorically to describe a person who is at the edge of their emotional or mental state, such as being on the edge of tears or on the edge of sanity. In a more literal sense, "äärille" can refer to the physical edge of something, like the edge of a table or the edge of a cliff.

The word "äärille" is derived from the Finnish word "ääri," which means "edge" or "extreme." It is often used in everyday conversation and writing to convey a sense of urgency, excitement, or danger.
