Terveis

Terveis, written as “terveis” in some contexts, is not a widely recognized standalone term in major reference works. In practice, it most often appears as part of Finnish phrases rather than as an independent concept. The familiar Finnish expressions related to this stem are "terveiset" and "terveisin," which convey greetings or regards in writing. For example, "Lämpimät terveiset" means “warm regards.” As a single word, however, “terveis” does not have a defined meaning in standard Finnish or in English-language encyclopedias.

Because it is not a standard dictionary entry, instances of "terveis" outside of Finnish greetings are usually due to truncation, typographical omission, or the use of the term as a proper name (such as a surname or a brand) in a specific context. When encountered in text, the surrounding context typically clarifies whether it is meant as part of a greeting phrase (more likely), a misspelling of "terveiset" or "terveisin," or something else entirely.

There is no established topic, place, or concept named simply "terveis" that has a dedicated article in major reference works. If a particular usage of "terveis" refers to a specific entity, further context would be needed to identify and describe that entity accurately. Related topics include Finnish letter closings and the broader concept of greetings in written communication.
