epäkäytännölliseen

Epäkäytännölliseen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "impractical" or "inconvenient" in English. It describes something that is not suited for its intended purpose, is difficult to use, or causes unnecessary trouble. The word is formed by adding the negative prefix "epä-" to the adjective "käytännöllinen," which means "practical." Therefore, "epäkäytännölliseen" literally means "not practical."

This term can be applied to a wide range of situations. For instance, a tool that is poorly designed and hard to handle might be described as epäkäytännöllinen. Similarly, a plan that is overly complicated and unlikely to succeed could be deemed epäkäytännöllinen. In everyday life, choosing an outfit that is fashionable but uncomfortable for the weather would be an epäkäytännöllinen decision. The opposite of epäkäytännölliseen is kätevä, meaning "convenient" or "handy." When something is described as epäkäytännölliseen, it suggests that a more sensible or effective alternative likely exists. The concept emphasizes functionality and ease of use over other qualities.
