Kykenemättömiä

Kykenemättömiä is a Finnish word that translates to "incapable" or "unable" in English. It is a plural form of the adjective kykenemätön, meaning incapable or unable. The word can be used in various contexts to describe a lack of ability or competence.

For instance, one might say "The team was kykenemättömiä to complete the project on time," meaning they were unable to finish it by the deadline. Similarly, "Children are kykenemättömiä to understand complex adult issues" implies they lack the capacity for such comprehension. The term can refer to physical, mental, or situational limitations.

In a legal or administrative context, "kykenemättömiä" might be used to describe individuals who are legally deemed incapable of managing their own affairs, often requiring a guardian or trustee. This could be due to age, mental illness, or severe disability. The specific implications and procedures surrounding such a designation would depend on the relevant laws of the jurisdiction.

The word itself is formed from the verb "kyetä" (to be able to, to have the capacity), negated by "emätön" (incapable), and carrying the plural ending "-iä". It is a straightforward descriptive term used in everyday Finnish conversation as well as in more formal settings.
