Käyttökelvottomista

Käyttökelvottomista is a Finnish adjective that translates to "unusable" or "obsolete" in English. It describes something that can no longer be used for its intended purpose or has become outdated and is therefore no longer functional or relevant. This term can be applied to a wide range of items and concepts, from physical objects to abstract ideas.

In a physical sense, something described as käyttökelvoton might be a broken appliance, a worn-out piece of clothing, or a damaged tool. The damage or wear makes it impossible to perform its function effectively. For example, a car with a seized engine would be considered käyttökelvoton for transportation. Similarly, a food item that has spoiled is käyttökelvoton for consumption.

Beyond physical objects, the term can also describe things that have become obsolete due to technological advancements or changing circumstances. A dial-up internet modem, for instance, is now largely käyttökelvoton in most developed regions due to the availability of much faster and more efficient internet technologies. In a broader context, an outdated law or a superseded scientific theory could also be described as käyttökelvoton if it no longer serves its purpose or is no longer considered valid. The core meaning of käyttökelvoton lies in the loss of functionality or relevance, rendering the subject incapable of fulfilling its role.
