jaetuttaa

Jaetuttaa is a Finnish verb that describes the act of sharing something, particularly food or resources, in a way that might be considered insufficient, grudging, or a mere token. It implies a reluctance to give up a significant portion of what one possesses, often leading to a situation where the recipient receives only a small or unsatisfactory amount. The term carries a negative connotation, suggesting that the sharing is not done generously or wholeheartedly.

The nuances of "jaetuttaa" can vary depending on context. It might be used to describe someone who doles out tiny portions of a meal, or a situation where a small amount of a shared item is offered with a sense of obligation rather than genuine willingness. It can also be applied metaphorically to situations where someone is unwilling to share information or opportunities generously. The core idea remains one of limited or reluctant distribution. The opposite of "jaetuttaa" would be sharing generously or freely.
