kyllästymättömyyteen

Kyllästymättömyyteen is a Finnish noun formed in the illative case from the concept of insatiability. It denotes an endless, unsatisfied drive or appetite—an inability to achieve lasting fulfillment. The term is most commonly found in literary, philosophical, and theological contexts, where it is used to describe desires, ambitions, or cravings that persist despite effort or reward.

The base noun is kyllästymättömyys, meaning insatiability or unsatiation. The illative suffix -teen/-teen marks direction or movement into a state, so kyllästymättömyyteen literally means “into insatiability” or “toward insatiability.” In usage, it often appears with verbs or predicates that convey progression, pursuit, or examination of perpetual desire, for example in discussions about human longing, consumption, or curiosity. The phrase is typically metaphorical rather than literal.

In broader Finnish, related terms include kyllästymä, kyllästyä and kyllästymätön, which describe related ideas of fullness, fulfillment, or the lack thereof. The concept can be employed critically to critique patterns of endless pursuit—whether of wealth, status, or novelty—where satisfaction remains elusive.

Etymology is built on the verb kyllästyä (to become sated) and the abstract noun suffix -myys, with the negative or intensifying nuance carried by the stem kyllästymättömyys. As a niche term, kyllästymättömyyteen is predominantly found in analytical or literary Finnish rather than everyday speech.
