syyllisestä

Syyllistä is a Finnish word that translates to "guilty" in English. It is the partitive singular form of the adjective syyllinen, meaning guilty. The word is used in various contexts, including legal proceedings, moral judgments, and expressions of personal responsibility.

In a legal context, syyllistä refers to the state of being found responsible for a crime or offense. A person declared syyllistä has been convicted of a wrongdoing and may face legal consequences such as fines or imprisonment. The determination of guilt is typically made through a court of law based on evidence presented.

Beyond the legal realm, syyllistä can also describe a feeling of culpability or shame. An individual might feel syyllistä for an action that, while not illegal, they perceive as morally wrong or harmful to others. This internal sense of guilt can stem from a violation of personal values or societal norms.

The concept of syyllistä can also appear in everyday language when discussing responsibility. For instance, if something goes wrong, one might ask "Kuka on syyllistä?" which translates to "Who is guilty?" This question seeks to identify the party responsible for the mishap. The word emphasizes accountability and the acknowledgment of one's role in an event or situation.
