Kunnosta

Kunnosta is a Finnish word that appears in several distinct grammatical and semantic contexts. It is most commonly encountered as a case form of the noun kunto, meaning state or health, and as the imperative form of the verb kunnostaa, meaning to restore or repair.

As the elative singular of kunto, kunnosta translates roughly as "from the state" or "out of condition," and it is used in expressions that describe a change away from a given condition. It is complementary to kunnossa, the adessive form meaning "in good condition" or "okay."

As the verb form, kunnosta functions as the imperative of kunnostaa. In this sense, it means "Restore!" or "Repair!" and is used in direct commands, for example in maintenance or construction contexts.

In everyday usage, kunnosta is relatively rare compared with kunnossa and kunnostaa; its recognition relies on understanding Finnish inflection patterns and background about kunto. The word kunto itself is common in health and fitness language, sports, and descriptions of objects and buildings.
