معنی
To be extremely tired.
زمینه فرهنگی
Finns often use 'poikki' as a way to signal they are entering 'recovery mode'. It's a socially accepted way to end a conversation or leave a party early. In the workplace, saying you are 'poikki' is a sign of honesty. It's often followed by a suggestion to take a 'kahvitauko' (coffee break) or go to the sauna. The ultimate cure for being 'poikki' is the sauna. It is believed to 'mend' the snapped branch of the person. While 'Sisu' is about not giving up, 'olla poikki' is the honest admission that the Sisu has been used up for the day.
Use 'Ihan'
Always add 'ihan' before 'poikki' to sound more like a native speaker. 'Olen ihan poikki' is 10x more common than just 'Olen poikki'.
Not for Objects
If you say 'Olen poikki' to mean you are physically broken (like a bone), people will still think you are just tired. Use 'murtunut' for bones!
