petettyksi

Petettyksi is a Finnish word that translates to "betrayed" or "disappointed" in English. It is a passive past participle of the verb "pettyä," which means to be disappointed or to be let down. The word can be used in a variety of contexts to describe a feeling of disillusionment, either with a person, a situation, or an expectation.

The emotional weight of "petettyksi" often implies a breach of trust or a failure to meet an anticipated standard.

The word encapsulates a sense of something valuable having been lost or diminished, leading to a negative emotional state.
