toivoton, salainen rakkaus Explanation: Like in every language, dark means many things in Finnish, but talking about love, we mostly talk about toivoton rakkaus = hopeless love. Both toivoton rakkaus and salainen rakkaus are collocations (Collocation means the way that words form predictable relationships with other words. Knowing the 'meaning' of a word is not only knowing its dictionary definition but also knowing the kind of words with which it is often associated). |
