kijautuneet

Kijautuneet is a Finnish term that translates roughly to "those who have fallen out" or "the estranged." It generally refers to individuals who have voluntarily or involuntarily separated themselves from a particular group, community, or social circle. This separation can stem from various reasons, including ideological differences, personal conflicts, disagreements with established norms, or a desire for independence.

The concept of kijautuneet is not necessarily negative in itself, but it implies a break in established relationships. Historically, in smaller, more close-knit communities, being kijautunut could lead to social isolation. In modern society, the term might be used in contexts ranging from political factions and religious groups to professional organizations and even extended family circles.

The reasons behind becoming kijautunut can be complex and multifaceted. Sometimes, it is a deliberate choice made by an individual seeking to pursue a different path or express dissent. Other times, it can be a consequence of expulsion or ostracism by the group. The experience of being kijautunut can vary greatly depending on the specific group and the circumstances of the separation.
