epätasaisia

Epätasaisia is the plural partitive form of the Finnish adjective epätasainen, meaning uneven or irregular. It is used to describe things that lack uniformity, levelness, or equality. The term appears across many contexts, including surface geometry, distributions, quality, and processes, where conditions are not uniform or consistent.

In practice, epätasaisia modifies nouns in the partitive case to indicate an indefinite portion of something that is uneven. Examples include epätasaisia pintamateriaaleja (uneven surface materials) or epätasaisia jakaumia (uneven distributions). Grammatically, epätasainen belongs to the class of adjectives that decline with Finnish inflection; epätasaisia is the plural partitive form.

Etymology: epätasainen is formed from tasainen (even) with the negative prefix epä- (epä-), which attaches to the adjective to convey not-even. The inflected form epätasaisia reflects this root in plural partitive usage.
