Raivostunut

Raivostunut is a Finnish adjective meaning furious or enraged. It describes a state of intense anger, typically in response to a trigger. The word can refer to a person, an animal, or a situation that exhibits strong anger. In everyday language it often connotes a high degree of anger beyond merely being irritated or upset.

Raivostunut is formed from the verb raivostua, to become furious, and is the past participle of that verb. As an adjective, it agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, just like other Finnish adjectives. The adverbial form is raivostuneesti, used to describe actions done in a furious manner. The causative construction can yield phrases such as "teki hänet raivostuneeksi" meaning "made him furious."

Usage notes: The term carries a strong emotional charge and is often used in narrative or dramatic contexts. It is closer in meaning to "furious" than to milder terms like "vihainen" (angry) or "kiukkuinen" (irritable). See also related terms: raivo (rage), raivostua (to become furious).
