murtunut

Finnish

Etymology

From the intransitive verb murtua (“to break, to get broken”).

Adjective

murtunut (comparative murtuneempi, superlative murtunein)

  1. broken (bent to the point of coming apart)
  2. broken (defeated and dispirited)

Usage notes

The words murtunut and murrettu are both translated as "broken" into English. The difference in Finnish is that with the term murtunut the emphasis is in the result, whereas with murrettu the emphasis is in the action that leads to breaking. It indicates that the breaking was intentional and not e.g. a result of the forces of nature.
