Epäohjattavat

Epäohjattavat is a Finnish noun that literally means “uncontrollable” or “not manageable”. The word is the plural form of epäohjattava, which is used primarily in legal, medical and technical texts to refer to circumstances, phenomena or factors that cannot be controlled or predetermined. In everyday Finnish the term is less common, but it appears frequently in specialist literature.

In the field of bankruptcy and estate law, the phrase “epäohjattavat omaisuuserät” denotes assets that are not amenable to normal liquidation procedures, such as intangible rights or highly volatile investments. Courts may treat these assets differently by allowing special handling or by excluding them from the debt payoff schedule. The concept therefore influences the way financial liabilities are assigned and how preservation orders are applied.

Medical documentation also employs the term. When describing adverse drug reactions, a physician might note that certain side effects are “epäohjattavat”, meaning that they cannot be prevented or mitigated by dosage adjustments or by polypharmacy management. This usage signals that the adverse effect is inherent to the drug’s pharmacodynamics and is not modifiable by clinical intervention.

In technology and engineering, the comparative adjective “epäohjattavat riskit” is used in cybersecurity risk assessments. It refers to threats that cannot be mitigated through standard controls, such as zero‑day exploits or natural disasters that compromise digital infrastructure.

Although the word is precise, it is not widely adopted in everyday conversation. Its main value lies in formal documentation where clear demarcation of controllability versus uncontrollability is legally or operationally significant.
