Sopimattomia

Sopimattomia is the partitive plural form of the Finnish adjective sopimaton, meaning inappropriate or unsuitable. The term is used to describe content, actions, or proposals that do not fit the social, professional, or contextual norms of a situation. The root of sopimaton is sopiva, meaning suitable, with the negative suffix -ton; it is not derived from the noun sopimus, which means agreement.

Sopimattomia is commonly found with nouns in the partitive case, for example sopimattomia ehdotuksia (inappropriate proposals), sopimattomia kommentteja (inappropriate comments), or sopimattomia kysymyksiä (inappropriate questions). The expression signals that something is not appropriate for a given context rather than declaring it illegal or morally wrong.

Usage notes: Sopimattomia generally carries a neutral to mildly critical tone and can appear in formal, semi-formal, or everyday language. For stronger or more explicit judgments, Finnish speakers may opt for synonyms such as epäasiallinen (uncivil or improper), loukkaava (offensive), or sopimaton in a stricter sense, depending on the context.
