Epäjalommasta

Epäjalommasta is a Finnish word that translates to "less noble" or "ignobler." It is the comparative form of the adjective "epäjalompi," which itself means "less noble" or "ignoble." The root of the word is "jalompi," the comparative of "jalos," meaning "noble." Therefore, "epäjalommasta" signifies a lesser degree of nobility, or a state that is even less noble than something else already considered ignoble.

The term can be applied in various contexts. In a social or ethical sense, it might describe actions, intentions, or individuals that are considered morally inferior or less honorable. For instance, a less noble motive for an action would be "epäjalompi motiivi." It can also be used in a more literal sense, though less commonly, to describe materials that are less precious or refined. For example, a metal that is less pure or valuable than another might be referred to as "epäjalompaa metallia."

The word emphasizes a comparison, suggesting a spectrum of nobility or value where some things fall further down on that spectrum than others. It is a nuanced term used to distinguish degrees of perceived worth or moral standing. Understanding "epäjalommasta" requires recognizing its comparative nature and its roots in the concept of nobility.
