Syntistä

Syntistä is a Finnish word that translates to "sinful" or "sinful one" in English. It is the adjectival form of the noun "synti," which means "sin." The word can be used to describe actions, thoughts, or individuals deemed morally wrong or against religious or societal norms.

In a religious context, syntistä would refer to something or someone deviating from divine commandments or ethical principles. It implies a transgression of moral law. The concept of sin is central to many religions, and syntistä reflects this idea of wrongdoing.

Beyond religious interpretations, syntistä can also be used in a more colloquial or secular sense to describe something that is indulgent, excessive, or perhaps slightly naughty. For example, a rich dessert might be described as syntistä if it is considered overly decadent. Similarly, a person might be playfully called syntistä if they are engaging in an activity that is considered slightly taboo or against social expectations but not necessarily harmful. The context in which syntistä is used heavily influences its precise meaning. It can range from serious moral condemnation to lighthearted indulgence.
