Loukkaantunut

Loukkaantunut is a Finnish word that translates to "injured" or "wounded" in English. It describes a state of physical harm or damage to the body, which can range in severity from minor bruises and cuts to more serious injuries like fractures or internal damage. The word can be used in various contexts, including accidents, sports, combat, or any situation where a person or animal sustains harm.

The degree of injury determines the necessary course of action. Minor injuries might require simple first aid, while severe ones necessitate immediate medical attention from healthcare professionals. The term loukkaantunut can also be used metaphorically to describe emotional or psychological harm, though its primary meaning refers to physical injury. When someone is described as loukkaantunut, it implies they are experiencing pain, discomfort, or a loss of function due to the damage they have sustained. Recovery from such a state typically involves rest, treatment, and rehabilitation.
