vältettäväksi

Vältettäväksi is a Finnish word that translates to "to be avoided" or "avoidable" in English. It is the past passive participle of the verb "välttää," which means "to avoid." The word is often used to describe situations, actions, or things that are considered undesirable or harmful and should therefore be kept away from.

For example, one might say "tällainen käytös on vältettäväksi" which translates to "such behavior is to be avoided." This indicates that a particular course of action is not recommended due to its negative consequences. Similarly, "riskit ovat vältettävissä" means "the risks are avoidable," suggesting that measures can be taken to prevent them.

The term can be applied in various contexts, from personal decisions to broader societal issues. In health and safety, "vaaralliset aineet ovat vältettäväksi" means "dangerous substances are to be avoided." In terms of lifestyle, "epäterveelliset ruokailutottumukset ovat vältettäväksi" translates to "unhealthy eating habits are to be avoided." The core meaning remains consistent: a call to steer clear of something deemed detrimental. Understanding "vältettäväksi" helps in comprehending cautionary advice and recommendations in Finnish.
