Kevytkäyttöinen

Kevytkäyttöinen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "lightly used" or "barely used" in English. It is commonly used to describe items, particularly vehicles, that have seen minimal wear and tear. The term implies that the object is still in excellent condition, approaching its original state, and has not been subjected to heavy or frequent use.

When applied to a car, for example, kevytkäyttöinen suggests that the vehicle has low mileage for its age and has been well-maintained. It implies that the engine, interior, and exterior are all in very good shape, with few signs of wear. Similarly, it can describe other durable goods like tools or appliances, indicating they have been used infrequently and with care.

The term conveys a sense of value, as an item described as kevytkäyttöinen is generally considered to be a good purchase, offering a near-new experience at a potentially lower price than a brand-new equivalent. It is a positive descriptor that reassures potential buyers about the quality and condition of a pre-owned item.
