The translation of "eipäättyviä" depends heavily on the context in which it is used. While "unending" or "continuous" are common translations, other possibilities include "incessant," "perpetual," or "non-terminating." The plural form is crucial for accurate understanding, indicating that the unending nature applies to more than one item. Understanding the root verb and the negative prefix "ei-" is key to deciphering the meaning of this Finnish term.
