Sérült

Sérült is a Finnish word that translates to "damaged," "injured," or "broken" in English. It is a common adjective used in various contexts to describe something that is not in its original or intended state.

In everyday language, sérült can refer to physical harm. For example, a person who has sustained an injury might be described as sérült. Similarly, an object that is broken or has a defect can also be called sérült. This could apply to a damaged vehicle, a torn piece of clothing, or a faulty appliance.

The term can also be used metaphorically. For instance, someone experiencing emotional distress or psychological trauma might be described as sérült, indicating they are mentally or emotionally affected. In a broader sense, a system or process that is not functioning correctly due to some flaw or problem could also be referred to as sérült.

The grammatical form of sérült can change depending on its use in a sentence. As an adjective, it agrees in number and case with the noun it modifies. For example, sérült auto (damaged car) or sértyneet jalat (injured legs). The root of the word is related to the verb "särkyä," meaning to break or to become damaged.
