English-Finnish translations for distance

  • välimatkaTeidän on pidettävä selvä välimatka niihin. You need to keep a critical distance from them. Tähän asti välimatka on ollut melko suuri, mutta nyt tämä välimatka lyheni.

  • etäisyysEtäisyys menettää merkityksensä. Distance ceases to be a factor. Lisäksi etäisyys kansalaisiin on aivan liian suuri.

  • etäännyttääMyös tällainen toiminta etäännyttää Ukrainan Euroopasta. That, too, distances Ukraine from Europe. Emme saa etäännyttää EU:ta uudelleen kansalaisista ja sulkea heitä ulkopuolelle. We should not allow this distance to occur and shut people out again. Tämä on uskomattoman tärkeää, eikä EU:n pidä etäännyttää itseään asiasta millään tavoin. That is incredibly important, and the EU must not distance itself from it in any way.
  • kävelymatkaSe on kävelymatkan päässä.
