Korkeariskiset

Korkeariskiset is a term used in Finnish to describe individuals, activities, or situations that carry a high degree of risk. The word "korkea" means high and "riskiset" is the plural of "riskisas," which is a colloquial and somewhat informal term for risk. Therefore, korkeariskiset literally translates to "high risks" or "risky ones."

The context in which korkeariskiset is used can vary significantly. For example, in financial contexts, it might refer to investments that have the potential for substantial losses but also for high returns. In discussions about public health, it could describe populations or behaviors that are more susceptible to disease or injury. In safety discussions, it might pertain to jobs or activities that inherently involve greater danger.

The term is often employed to highlight the need for caution, preparedness, or specific preventative measures. When something is labeled korkeariskiset, it implies that standard protocols might not be sufficient and that additional consideration for potential negative outcomes is necessary. The informal nature of "riskiset" suggests that the term might be used in everyday conversation rather than in highly technical or official documentation, though its meaning is generally understood.
