Kuuroutunut

Kuuroutunut is a Finnish word that translates to "run down," "dilapidated," or "neglected" in English. It is primarily used to describe a physical object or place that has fallen into disrepair due to lack of maintenance or abandonment. For example, one might describe a kuuroutunut building as one that is crumbling, has broken windows, or is overgrown with weeds. The term can also be applied to things that are no longer in their prime, such as an old car that is no longer functional or a piece of furniture that is worn out.

The word "kuuroutunut" carries a sense of decay and loss of former quality. It suggests a process of deterioration over time, often due to external factors or simply the passage of time. While it can be used neutrally to describe the state of something, it often implies a sense of sadness or regret for what once was. The opposite of kuuroutunut would be something well-maintained, new, or in good condition. The word is commonly encountered in everyday Finnish conversation when discussing old buildings, abandoned properties, or objects that have seen better days.
