eivirkistävän

The Finnish word "eivirkistävän" is the genitive singular form of the negative participle of the verb "virkistää," which translates to "to refresh" or "to invigorate." Therefore, "eivirkistävän" literally means "of not refreshing" or "of not invigorating."

In Finnish grammar, the genitive case is used in various contexts, including possession, after certain prepositions, and to form part of a complex noun phrase. The negative participle is used to describe something that is not doing, or has not done, a particular action. When combined, "eivirkistävän" would be used in a sentence where something is being described as not having the quality of being refreshing or invigorating, and this description is in the genitive case.

For example, it might appear in a phrase like "tuotteen eivirkistävän vaikutuksen" which translates to "the product's non-refreshing effect." This usage indicates a lack of the expected refreshing quality. The word itself is relatively uncommon in everyday speech, often appearing in more formal or specific grammatical constructions. Its meaning is directly tied to the negation of the act of refreshing or invigorating.
