Kestämättömä

Kestämättömä is not a standard Finnish word found in major dictionaries. It appears sporadically in online texts or creative writing and is generally considered nonstandard or a misspelling of more established forms. Because it is not widely attested, its meaning and proper usage are uncertain outside of individual authors’ intentions.

Most likely interpretations in the absence of an established definition are either a mistaken form of kestämätön or a creative coinage intended to convey something not able to withstand or not sustainable. In everyday and formal Finnish, speakers would typically choose standard alternatives rather than this form. The common negative for sustainability or endurance is epäkestävä, meaning not sustainable or not durable, or simply not kestävää in specific constructions. Related nouns such as kestävyys and adjectives like epäkestävä are used in mainstream language to express the opposite of durability or sustainability.

Usage and style notes: because kestämättömä is not recognized as standard Finnish, it should be avoided in formal writing, academic contexts, or any setting where precise language is required. If an author intends to express that something cannot be endured, not tolerated, or not sustainable, they should use established terms such as epäkestävä or phrase the idea with suitable modifiers (e.g., ei kestä pitkään, ei ole kestävää).

See also: kestävä (durable, sustainable), epäkestävä (not sustainable), kest of lyhyesti (kestävyys-related terms). In contexts discussing endurance, resilience, or sustainability, relying on standard vocabulary helps ensure clear and widely understood communication.
