siedettävissä

Siedettävissä is a Finnish word that translates to "tolerable," "bearable," or "endurable" in English. It describes a state or condition that, while not necessarily pleasant or ideal, can be accepted or put up with. The term is often used to convey a sense of enduring a situation that is difficult or unpleasant but not so severe as to be completely unbearable.

The etymology of "siedettävissä" is rooted in the verb "sietää," which means to tolerate or endure. The suffix "-ttävissä" indicates a potential or possibility of being subjected to the action of the root verb. Therefore, "siedettävissä" literally means "in a state of being able to be tolerated."

This word can be applied to a wide range of contexts. For example, one might describe weather as "siedettävissä" if it is cold or rainy but not dangerously so. Similarly, a difficult work situation or a mildly annoying social interaction could be deemed "siedettävissä." It implies a level of resilience and the ability to cope with less-than-ideal circumstances without succumbing to them. The opposite of "siedettävissä" would be "sietämätön," meaning intolerable or unbearable.
