rikkumiseni

rikkumiseni is a Finnish word that translates to "my breaking" or "my violation." It is a possessive form of the noun rikkuminen, which means breaking, violation, or infringement. The word can be used in various contexts to describe a personal act of breaking a rule, a promise, a law, or even a physical object.

For example, if someone has promised to keep a secret and then revealed it, they might say "rikkumiseni oli paha" which means "my breaking was bad." In a legal context, if an individual has committed a crime, they might be accused of a "rikkumiseni" of the law, signifying their transgression. The word can also refer to a more literal breaking, such as dropping and shattering a valuable item, where one might lament "rikkumiseni satutti minua" or "my breaking hurt me."

The nuance of "rikkumiseni" lies in its personal attribution. It directly signifies that the act of breaking or violation was performed by the speaker. This contrasts with the general term "rikkomus" which refers to a violation or offense without specifying the perpetrator. The possessive suffix "-ni" clearly indicates ownership or agency in the act. Understanding the context in which "rikkumiseni" is used is crucial to correctly interpreting its meaning.
