urajyrsinnällä

urajyrsinnällä is a Finnish term that translates to "mouse-gnawed" or "nibbled by mice" in English. It is primarily used in a descriptive context to indicate that something has been damaged by rodents, particularly mice, through their characteristic gnawing behavior. This can apply to various materials, including food items, furniture, electrical wires, or structural components. The damage caused by urajyrsinnällä typically involves small, irregular holes or chewed edges.

The term is often encountered when discussing the condition of stored goods, such as food supplies or textiles, where the presence of mice could lead to spoilage or damage. In agricultural settings, it might refer to crops or stored grains that have been affected by rodent activity. The implication of urajyrsinnällä is that the item is no longer in its original, pristine state and may be unfit for its intended purpose, or at least compromised in quality. While the term itself is straightforward, the context in which it is used can sometimes carry connotations of infestation or neglect.
