rikottavaksi

Rikottavaksi is a Finnish word that translates to "to be broken" or "breakable." It is derived from the verb "rikkoa," meaning "to break." The word can be used in various contexts to describe something that is susceptible to breaking, whether it is a physical object, a rule, a promise, or a spirit.

In a physical sense, "rikottavaksi" might describe fragile items like glass or ceramics, which are easily broken. For example, a sign might read "varo rikottavaksi" (caution, breakable). It can also refer to something that is designed to be broken, such as a piñata, which is intended to be broken open to release its contents.

Beyond the physical, "rikottavaksi" can also apply to abstract concepts. A promise that is not kept can be described as "rikottavaksi," indicating it has been broken. Similarly, a rule or law that is violated can be said to be "rikottavaksi." In a more metaphorical sense, a person's spirit or will can be broken, and this state could be described using variations of "rikottavaksi." The specific nuance depends heavily on the surrounding sentence and context.
