eiihanteellisissa
Ei ihanteellisissa is a Finnish phrase used to express that conditions or circumstances are not ideal. In standard orthography it is written as two separate elements: ei (negation) and ihanteellisissa (the inessive plural form of ihanteellinen, meaning “in ideal conditions”). The form eiihanteellisissa appearing as a single word is generally considered non-standard or typographical; the normal usage maintains a space between ei and ihanteellisissa.
Etymology and grammar: The word ihanteellinen comes from the adjective ihanteellinen, which describes something as ideal.
Usage: The phrase is common in descriptive writing, journalism, and academic prose when acknowledging suboptimal conditions.
- Toiminta tapahtui ei ihanteellisissa olosuhteissa, mikä hidasti projektin etenemistä.
- Tutkimus sujui ei ihanteellisissa olosuhteissa, kuten meluisassa laboratoriossa.
