Vaikeutuvan

Vaikeutuvan is a Finnish word that translates to "becoming more difficult" or "deteriorating" in English. It is the genitive form of the present active participle of the verb "vaikeutua," which means "to become difficult" or "to worsen." This word is commonly used in various contexts to describe a situation, process, or condition that is progressively getting harder to manage, deal with, or overcome.

For instance, one might speak of "ilmanlaadun vaikeutuvan" (the air quality becoming more difficult/worsening) or "taloudellisen tilanteen vaikeutuvan" (the economic situation becoming more difficult). The genitive case indicates possession or a relationship, suggesting that the difficulty is associated with or belongs to the noun it modifies. Therefore, "vaikeutuvan" highlights a state of increasing challenge or a decline in ease or quality. It can also refer to a grammatical change where a word or phrase is becoming more complex or harder to understand. The context in which "vaikeutuvan" appears is crucial for fully understanding its specific meaning.
