Liikkumaton

Liikkumaton is a Finnish adjective meaning not moving or motionless. It describes a state in which movement is absent, or a thing that is at rest relative to a reference frame. The word is formed from the verb liikkua (to move) and a negation suffix, yielding an attribute applicable to objects, bodies, or systems.

In everyday language, liikkumaton can describe objects that are at rest, such as a parked car or a device in standby. In technical contexts, it denotes zero velocity or stiffness: a body with no motion relative to a chosen frame is liikkumaton. In medicine, liikkumattomuus refers to immobilization, as in paralysis or immobilized limbs.

Related terms include liikkumattomuus (immobility), liikkua (to move), and liikkuva (moving). The word is used across registers, from everyday speech to academic prose, and its antonyms include liikkuva or liikkeessä (in motion). Staattinen (static) can be used as a closer synonym in some contexts.
