Kyllästyneet

Kyllästyneet is a Finnish word that can function as both an adjective and a noun form. It derives from the verb kyllästyä, meaning to become fed up, bored, or disillusioned. The basic sense is that someone has grown tired of something, often because of repetition, inadequate change, or dissatisfaction. In English, it is commonly translated as “fed up” or “sick of it.”

Morphology and usage: The singular form is kyllästynyt (fed up), while the plural nominative form is kyllästyneet. As an adjective, kyllästyneet can modify a noun, for example kyllästyneet asiakkaat meaning “the fed-up customers.” In finite clauses, it appears as Olemassa: “Olen kyllästynyt” (I am fed up; I’ve had enough). The word also functions as a shorthand noun phrase in some contexts, referring collectively to people who are fed up, e.g., Kyllästyneet voivat vaikuttaa oikeisiin toimenpiteisiin.

Related terms and nuances: A closely related noun is kyllästyminen (the state or process of becoming fed up). The verb kyllästyä is the action form, and synonyms for a similar sense include turhautunut (frustrated) and väsynyt (tired). Kyllästyminen often conveys a stronger emotional reaction than mere väsymys, signaling active dissatisfaction or disenchantment with a situation.
