epäkohtalaisesti

epäkohtalaisesti is a Finnish adverb that translates to "unfavorably," "disadvantageously," "unhappily," or "unluckily." It describes a situation or outcome that is not good or is contrary to one's wishes. The word is formed by combining the prefix "epä-" (un-, not) with the noun "kohtalo" (fate, destiny) and the Finnish adessive case ending "-lla" (on, at, in), which in this context functions adverbially to mean "in a manner of."

When something happens epäkohtalaisesti, it suggests an unfortunate turn of events or a negative consequence that seems to go against one's favorable destiny. For instance, a business deal might fall through epäkohtalaisesti, or a person might experience a setback epäkohtalaisesti. It implies a lack of good fortune or a situation that is not conducive to success or happiness. The adverb carries a sense of things not going as planned or hoped, often due to external circumstances that are perceived as unlucky or unfavorable. It is a way to express that an outcome has been less than ideal or has resulted in a disadvantage.
