Sähkökelpoinen

Sähkökelpoinen refers to a Finnish term that combines the words *sähkö* (electricity) and *kelpo* (acceptable, decent, or functional). The phrase is used colloquially to describe something that is electrically powered or operated, often in a way that is practical, reliable, or well-suited for its purpose. It can apply to devices, tools, or systems that function efficiently with electricity as their energy source.

The term is commonly used in everyday Finnish conversation to emphasize that an electrical device is both functional and dependable. For example, someone might describe a well-maintained electric tool as *sähkökelpoinen* to highlight its effectiveness. It can also be used more broadly to refer to electrical infrastructure, such as wiring or power systems, that are in good working order.

While not a formal technical term, *sähkökelpoinen* reflects the practical mindset of Finnish language users when discussing everyday electrical needs. Its usage is widespread in informal settings, particularly among those who prioritize functionality and reliability in their equipment. The phrase underscores the importance of electricity in modern life and the expectation that electrical devices should perform without unnecessary complications.
