Kehtivästä

Kehtivästä is a Finnish word that translates to "valid" or "in effect" in English. It is most commonly used in legal and administrative contexts to describe the status of laws, regulations, contracts, or other official documents. When something is kehtivästä, it means that it is currently recognized as legitimate and binding, and therefore enforceable.

For example, a law that is kehtivästä is actively in force and must be followed. A contract that is kehtivästä is legally binding on the parties involved. If a permit or license is kehtivästä, it grants the holder the right to perform a specific activity. The opposite of kehtivästä would be expired, invalid, or repealed. Understanding whether something is kehtivästä is crucial for individuals and organizations to ensure compliance with relevant rules and obligations. The determination of validity often depends on specific criteria, such as a designated effective date or the absence of any conditions that would render it void.
