Käytönaikaisesti

Käytönaikaisesti is a Finnish adverb that translates to "during use" or "in use" in English. It describes a state or action that occurs while something is actively being utilized or operated. This term is commonly found in technical contexts, user manuals, and discussions related to the practical application of objects, systems, or processes.

For instance, a device might be described as having certain features that are only accessible käytönaikaisesti, meaning they can only be used when the device is powered on and in operation. Similarly, a warning label might state that certain conditions should be avoided käytönaikaisesti to prevent damage or ensure safety. The term emphasizes the temporal aspect of an action or state occurring specifically during the period of use, rather than before or after. It distinguishes between potential states and actual, in-progress states of operation. The concept is similar to terms like "runtime" in computing or "in operation" for machinery.
