epätoimintakyvyinen

Epätoimintakyvytön is a Finnish adjective that translates to "non-operational," "incapable of functioning," or "out of order." It is used to describe a person, object, or system that is unable to perform its intended function. The term can be applied in various contexts.

In a physical sense, an object can be epätoimintakyvytön if it is broken, damaged, or otherwise not working as it should. For example, a broken machine, a faulty appliance, or a disabled vehicle could all be described as epätoimintakyvytön.

When referring to a person, epätoimintakyvytön can indicate a state of being unable to act or perform due to illness, injury, extreme exhaustion, or psychological distress. It suggests a temporary or perhaps longer-term inability to engage in normal activities or responsibilities.

More broadly, the term can also describe a system or organization that is not functioning effectively. This might include a bureaucratic process that is stalled, a government that is unable to make decisions, or a company that is experiencing severe operational problems. The core meaning remains consistent: a lack of ability to carry out its purpose or function.
