Pekätettävä

Pekätettävä is a Finnish word that translates to "detestable" or "abominable" in English. It describes something that is intensely disliked, loathed, or morally repugnant. The term carries a strong sense of disgust and revulsion, often applied to actions, situations, or qualities that are considered deeply offensive or unacceptable.

The etymology of pekätettävä is rooted in the Finnish verb "pekätä," which means to loathe or detest. The suffix "-ttävä" indicates that something is deserving of, or worthy of, that action. Therefore, pekätettävä literally means "worthy of being detested." It is a passive participle, suggesting a state of being that elicits strong negative feelings.

This word can be used in various contexts. For instance, one might describe a cruel act as pekätettävä, or a deeply unfair system as pekätettävä. It is a powerful adjective used to convey a profound moral condemnation or extreme personal aversion. The intensity of the word suggests that it is not used lightly and is reserved for matters that are considered truly reprehensible.
