Epätotuudenmukainen

Epätotuudenmukainen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "untruthful" or "false" in English. It describes something that is not in accordance with the truth or reality. The word is formed by adding the prefix "epä-" (meaning "un-" or "not") to the word "totuudenmukainen," which means "truthful" or "accurate."

The term can be applied to statements, claims, descriptions, or even individuals who deliberately present information that is not true. For example, an "epätotuudenmukainen väite" would be a false claim, and a person acting "epätotuudenmukaisesti" would be behaving untruthfully. The concept is closely related to dishonesty and deception.

In legal contexts, untruthful statements can have serious consequences, and the deliberate dissemination of false information is often frowned upon. In everyday conversation, using the term "epätotuudenmukainen" implies a clear deviation from factual accuracy. It is a straightforward descriptor used to denote a lack of truthfulness in a given context.
