vähäpätöisiksi

vähäpätöisiksi is the plural partitive form of the Finnish adjective "vähäpätöinen." This adjective translates to "unimportant," "trivial," "insignificant," or "of little consequence." When used in its plural partitive form, it refers to multiple things or people that are considered unimportant or of minor significance.

The word "vähäpätöinen" is composed of two parts: "vähä" meaning "little" or "small," and "pätöinen" which is related to "päätös" (decision) or "pätevä" (competent, valid), implying something that doesn't have much weight or impact. Therefore, something described as vähäpätöinen is not worthy of serious consideration or attention.

In practice, "vähäpätöisiksi" might be used in sentences describing situations where multiple items or matters are dismissed as minor. For example, one could say that certain tasks were deemed vähäpätöisiksi and therefore not prioritized. Similarly, people might be referred to as vähäpätöisiksi if their contributions or opinions are considered negligible within a larger context. The term carries a sense of diminished importance or relevance.
