huima

== Finnish == === Etymology === From Proto-Finnic *huima. Related to Estonian uim, Ingrian huima, Karelian huima and Votic huimõ. The Finnic word is probably originally a borrowing from either Old Norse svíma (“to faint, to swoon”) or Old Norse hvima (“to be confused”); for sense, compare huimata. Alternatively, possibly akin to huikea (compare tuikea ~ tuima, julkea ~ julma), but in any case influenced by it in terms of meaning. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈhui̯mɑ/, [ˈhui̯mɑ̝] Rhymes: -uimɑ Syllabification(key): hui‧ma Hyphenation(key): hui‧ma === Adjective === huima (comparative huimempi, superlative huimin) reckless, wild, crazy, intense staggering, extraordinary, incredible (of a growth, decline, change, etc.) huima kasvu ― staggering growth ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === References === === Further reading === “huima”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[2] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 2 July 2023 === Anagrams === muhia, uhmia == Ingrian == === Etymology === From Proto-Finnic *huima.
