Epäsiistiltä

Epäsiistiltä is a Finnish word that translates to "untidy," "messy," or "shabby" in English. It is an adjective used to describe something that lacks order, neatness, or cleanliness. This can apply to a wide range of things, from personal appearance to the state of a room or a larger area.

When referring to a person, epäsiistiltä might describe someone whose clothes are wrinkled, stained, or ill-fitting, or whose hair is unkempt. It can also imply a general lack of attention to personal grooming. In the context of a place, an epäsiisti room could be filled with clutter, unwashed dishes, or dust. Similarly, an epäsiisti garden might be overgrown with weeds and lack any semblance of order.

The word carries a somewhat negative connotation, suggesting a lack of care or effort. While it does not necessarily imply outright filth or squalor, it indicates a state that is generally considered undesirable or unappealing. The degree of epäsiistiys can vary greatly, from minor disarray to significant untidiness. Understanding epäsiistiltä helps in comprehending descriptions of environments and appearances in Finnish.
