syrjäisessä

Syrjäisessä is a Finnish adjective that translates to "remote," "secluded," "out-of-the-way," or "isolated" in English. It describes a place or situation that is far from populated areas, centers of activity, or the main routes of travel. The term often carries connotations of quietness, solitude, and sometimes even a lack of modern conveniences due to its distance.

When used to describe a geographical location, syrjäisessä refers to areas that are not easily accessible. This could include remote villages, sparsely populated regions in the countryside, islands far from the mainland, or wilderness areas. The word implies a lack of infrastructure such as good roads, public transport, or readily available services like shops and healthcare.

In a broader sense, syrjäisessä can also describe a situation or a person's state. A person might feel syrjäisessä if they are socially isolated or feel left out. An event could be described as syrjäisessä if it occurs in an inconvenient or obscure location, away from the public eye. The term emphasizes a degree of separation from the norm or the mainstream. The opposite of syrjäisessä would be terms like "keskeisessä" (central) or "vilkkaassa" (busy).
