epäkunnolliset

Epäkunnolliset is a Finnish term that translates to "improper" or "disrespectful" in English. It is used to describe behavior or actions that are considered to be in violation of social norms, etiquette, or established rules. This can encompass a wide range of conduct, from minor breaches of politeness to more serious offenses that disrupt public order or cause offense to others.

The specific context in which the term is used often dictates the severity of the impropriety. For instance, speaking loudly in a library would be considered epäkunnolliset, as would neglecting one's duties in a professional setting. In more serious situations, actions deemed epäkunnolliset might involve insubordination, public intoxication, or causing deliberate offense.

Understanding what constitutes epäkunnolliset behavior is largely dependent on cultural and societal expectations. What might be acceptable in one situation or culture could be viewed as improper in another. Generally, it implies a failure to adhere to expected standards of conduct, often with a negative implication for the individual or group involved. The term itself is neutral and descriptive, focusing on the nature of the action rather than making a moral judgment, although the actions described are typically viewed negatively.
