Epähuoliteltu

Epähuoliteltu is a Finnish adjective that describes something lacking care or attention, resulting in a state of neglect or disarray. It can be applied to a wide range of subjects, from physical objects and environments to abstract concepts and even people's appearance or behavior. The core meaning revolves around a deficiency in maintenance, grooming, or proper handling.

When used to describe a place, epähuoliteltu might refer to a garden overgrown with weeds, a house in disrepair, or a public space that is dirty and unkempt. In the context of objects, it could describe a tool that is rusty and broken, or clothing that is stained and torn. The term suggests that the item or place has not received the necessary upkeep to maintain its intended condition or appearance.

Beyond the physical, epähuoliteltu can also describe a less tangible lack of attention. For instance, a plan might be considered epähuoliteltu if it has not been thoroughly thought out or is missing crucial details. Similarly, a person's appearance might be described as epähuoliteltu if they appear unwashed or sloppily dressed, indicating a lack of personal grooming. The overall impression conveyed by epähuoliteltu is one of carelessness, disorganization, or a general failure to attend to necessary details.
