epäluotettavaksi

epäluotettavaksi is a Finnish word that translates to "unreliable" or "untrustworthy" in English. It describes a person, thing, or source that cannot be depended upon or believed. The term is often used to convey a lack of dependability, consistency, or truthfulness.

When applied to a person, epäluotettavaksi suggests that they are not someone you can count on to fulfill promises, keep secrets, or act in a predictable and honest manner. This can stem from various behaviors, such as frequent lying, breaking commitments, or exhibiting erratic actions.

In the context of objects or systems, epäluotettavaksi indicates that they do not function as expected or are prone to failure. For instance, a car that frequently breaks down could be described as epäluotettava. Similarly, a scientific study with flawed methodology might be deemed epäluotettava as a source of information.

As an adjective, epäluotettavaksi modifies a noun to indicate its lack of trustworthiness. For example, one might refer to epäluotettava tieto (unreliable information) or an epäluotettava todistaja (an untrustworthy witness). The concept of epäluotettavaksi is fundamental in assessing the credibility and utility of various entities in everyday life and more formal contexts.
