Jakamattomalla

Jakamattomalla is a Finnish adjective meaning “undivided” or “indivisible.” It is used to describe something that is regarded as a single, inseparable unit rather than a collection of parts. The term is more common in formal, philosophical, or literary Finnish than in everyday speech, where synonyms such as jakamaton or eheä are more typical.

In usage, jakamattomalla conveys a sense of totality, unity, or integrity. It can refer to concepts, systems, or wholes that are treated as inseparable for analytical, rhetorical, or normative reasons. The word often appears in discussions about principles, structures, or entities that are characterized by their indivisibility. It is less frequent in casual prose and tends to appear in academic or critical writing.

Morphology and formwise, jakamattomalla is the adessive form of the adjective jakamattomallinen/jakamattomallinen, depending on the surrounding noun, and it follows standard Finnish inflection patterns for adjectives derived from verbal roots related to division. In practice, it can pair with nouns to express “with an indivisible [whole/entity],” as in phrases describing a phenomenon that ought to be understood as a single unit rather than as a sum of parts.

Example usage: Väite perustuu jakamattomalla kokonaisuudella esitettyyn näkemykseen, jossa järjestelmä muodostaa yhtenäisen, jakamattoman kokonaisuuden. Translation: The claim rests on an indivisible holistic view in which the system forms a unified, indivisible whole.
