Käyttökevottoman

Käyttökevottoman is a Finnish word that translates to "unusable" or "unfit for use" in English. It describes a state where something is no longer functional or suitable for its intended purpose due to damage, wear and tear, obsolescence, or other factors. The word can be applied to a wide range of objects and situations.

For example, a tool that has broken would be considered käyttökevoton. Similarly, a piece of software that is no longer compatible with current operating systems or lacks necessary updates could be described as käyttökevoton. In a broader sense, a building that has fallen into disrepair to the point where it is unsafe or impractical to occupy might also be deemed käyttökevoton. The term implies a finality in its unsuitability, suggesting that repair or modification is either impossible or not economically viable.

The concept of käyttökevoton is important in contexts such as waste management, product lifecycle assessment, and infrastructure maintenance. Identifying items as käyttökevoton is often the first step in determining whether they should be disposed of, recycled, or replaced. It signifies the end of an item's useful life and the need for a new solution or alternative.
