epäesimerkillisenä

Epäesimerkillisenä is a Finnish word that translates to "as an unexemplary one" or "in an unexemplary manner." It functions as an adverbial form of the adjective "epäesimerkillinen," which means unexemplary, not serving as an example, or lacking good qualities to be followed. The word is derived from the prefix "epä-" meaning "un-" or "non-," and "esimerkillinen," meaning "exemplary" or "serving as an example." Therefore, "epäesimerkillisenä" describes a situation, behavior, or outcome that deviates from the norm of good conduct, positive behavior, or successful practice. It implies a lack of positive role-modeling or a failure to meet expected standards. The word is typically used in contexts where a contrast is being drawn with something or someone considered exemplary. For instance, one might describe a person's actions as "epäesimerkillisenä" if those actions are considered poor or undesirable, thus not providing a good model for others. The grammatical form "epäesimerkillisenä" indicates the essive case, which often translates to "as" or "in the capacity of."
