epäoikeudenmukaisella

Epäoikeudenmukaisella is the adessive singular form of the Finnish adjective epäoikeudenmukainen, meaning unfair. It is used to describe the manner, basis, or mode in which something is done, typically within phrases where the accompanying noun is in the adessive case, such as epäoikeudenmukaisella tavalla, epäoikeudenmukaisella perusteella or epäoikeudenmukaisella periaatteella.

In Finnish usage, epäoikeudenmukaisella appears primarily in formal or critical contexts, including journalism, law, policy discussions, and academic writing. It functions as an adjective in the adessive case and is usually part of larger phrases that specify how or on what basis something occurred, rather than standing alone as a simple adverb.

Etymology and related forms: the word combines the negating prefix epä- with oikeudenmukainen (fairness, just) to form epäoikeudenmukainen (unfair). The form epäoikeudenmukaisella is one inflectional variant used with nouns in the adessive case, with other forms existing for different cases and numbers, such as epäoikeudenmukaisella tavalla (in an unfair manner) or epäoikeudenmukaisella perusteella (on an unfair basis).

Examples:

- Päätöksiä tehtiin epäoikeudenmukaisella tavalla.

- Valinnat tehtiin epäoikeudenmukaisella perusteella.
