Eläkeläisellä

Eläkeläisellä is a Finnish term that translates to "on pension" or "by a pensioner." It describes a state or situation related to a person who is receiving a pension, typically an old-age pension. The word can be used in various contexts to indicate that something is done by, for, or in the manner of a pensioner.

For example, one might say "eläkeläisellä on enemmän vapaa-aikaa" which means "a pensioner has more free time." This highlights a common characteristic associated with retirement. Another usage could be "eläkeläisellä on alennus" meaning "a pensioner receives a discount," indicating a benefit often offered to this demographic. The term can also refer to a place or service catering to pensioners, such as an "eläkeläisellä asunto" (housing for pensioners).

The concept of eläkeläisellä is tied to the Finnish pension system and the social structures that support individuals in their retirement years. It acknowledges a distinct phase of life with its own needs and opportunities. The term is straightforward and commonly understood within Finnish society, reflecting the presence and activities of those who have retired from active working life.
