Vikaiseksi

Vikaiseksi is a Finnish word that translates to "faulty," "defective," or "malfunctioning" in English. It is used to describe something that is not working correctly or has a flaw. This can apply to a wide range of objects and situations, from mechanical devices to abstract concepts.

For example, one might say a car is vikaiseksi if it has a mechanical problem preventing it from running properly. Similarly, a computer could be described as vikaiseksi if it is experiencing software errors or hardware failures. The term can also be used more broadly to indicate something that is not ideal or is somehow imperfect. A plan could be considered vikaiseksi if it has logical flaws or is unlikely to succeed.

The word vikaiseksi is derived from the noun "vika," which means "fault," "defect," or "failure." The "-iseksi" ending indicates the inessive case, suggesting a state of being or becoming. Therefore, vikaiseksi describes the condition of having or developing a fault. Understanding this term is useful for comprehending everyday Finnish conversations and descriptions of problems.
