sietämättömäksi

Sietämättömäksi is a Finnish word that translates to "unbearable" or "intolerable" in English. It is an adjective that describes something or someone that is extremely difficult to endure, whether physically, emotionally, or mentally.

The word can be used in various contexts. For instance, one might describe unbearable pain as "sietämätöntä kipua." Similarly, a person's behavior could be deemed unbearable, leading to the phrase "hän käyttäytyy sietämättömästi," meaning "he/she is behaving unbearably." The adjective conveys a strong sense of suffering or extreme displeasure.

The root of the word, "sietää," means to tolerate, endure, or bear. The suffix "-mätön" is a negative suffix, indicating the absence of the ability to tolerate or endure. Therefore, "sietämätön" literally means something that cannot be tolerated or endured.

When something is described as sietämätön, it implies a point where further endurance is not possible or is causing significant harm. It is a strong descriptor used to express the extremity of a negative experience or situation.
