väsynyt

Väsynyt is a Finnish adjective meaning tired, fatigued, or exhausted. It describes a state resulting from lack of rest or from sustained physical or mental activity. The word can modify people as well as animals, and it can be used metaphorically to describe appearances or situations, for example a väsynyt ilme (tired look).

Etymology and grammar: Väsynyt is derived from the verb väsyä, to become tired. Like other Finnish adjectives, väsynyt declines according to number and case when it modifies a noun. The base form väsynyt is used for singular nominative; other forms follow standard adjective conjugation patterns when describing different nouns or cases.

Usage: Väsynyt signals temporary fatigue after activity or lack of rest, but it can also appear in broader contexts. For stronger exhaustion, speakers may use synonyms such as uupunut. Common phrases include Olen väsynyt (I am tired) and Hän on väsynyt töiden jälkeen (He/she is tired after work).
