etäännytetty

The Finnish word "etäännytetty" translates to "distanced" or "estranged" in English. It is the past passive participle of the verb "etäännyttää," which means to distance, alienate, or estrange someone or something. The term implies a deliberate act of creating or experiencing a separation, often in a social or emotional context.

"Etäännytetty" can describe a person who has become alienated from their family, friends, or community. This estrangement can be a result of disagreements, changing circumstances, or a general drift apart. For example, a person might feel "etäännytetty" from their childhood home after moving away and losing touch with their former life.

The concept can also apply to objects or ideas. A piece of art might be described as "etäännytetty" if it deliberately creates a sense of detachment or unfamiliarity for the viewer. In a more abstract sense, a society could become "etäännytetty" from its historical roots or cultural traditions. The core meaning revolves around a created or experienced separation, moving away from a previous state of closeness or connection.
