Vähävaurioisen

Vähävaurioisen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "low-damage" or "minimally damaged" in English. It is used to describe something that has sustained very little or no significant harm. The term is often employed in contexts where the extent of damage is a crucial factor, such as in insurance claims, accident reports, or property assessments.

For instance, a vehicle involved in a collision might be described as vähävaurioisen if the damage is superficial, like minor scratches or dents, rather than structural issues. Similarly, in property contexts, a building could be vähävaurioisen after an event like a storm if only cosmetic elements have been affected, such as broken roof tiles or loose siding. The term implies that the item or entity remains largely functional and does not require extensive repairs. It signifies a state of being relatively unharmed despite an incident that could have potentially caused more severe consequences. The opposite of vähävaurioisen would be terms indicating significant or severe damage.
