Ehjä

Ehjä is a Finnish adjective meaning "intact", "whole" or "unbroken". It describes objects or states that have not been damaged, fractured or otherwise rendered incomplete. The word is commonly used in everyday speech and writing to indicate physical integrity as well as figurative completeness.

In literal contexts ehjä applies to items such as glass, clothing or equipment (for example, "ehjä lasi" — an unbroken glass). Figuratively it can describe a person’s emotional or psychological condition ("olla ehjä" — to be emotionally whole) or the integrity of systems and documents. Common antonyms include rikkinäinen and rikki, while synonyms include kokonainen and vaurioitumaton.

Grammatically, ehjä behaves like other Finnish adjectives: it inflects for case and number and can be modified to express degrees of comparison following standard Finnish patterns. Derived nouns such as ehjyys (integrity, intactness) are used to denote the state or quality of being ehjä.

The term is widely understood across Finland and appears in both colloquial and formal registers. Its application ranges from everyday descriptions of physical objects to more abstract uses in psychology, administration and technical contexts where the notion of completeness or undamaged condition is relevant.
