Terveyydellä

Terveyydellä is a Finnish word that translates to "with health" or "in good health." It is commonly used as a toast or a wish for someone's well-being. For example, when someone is celebrating a milestone, recovering from an illness, or embarking on a new venture, it is customary to say "terveydeksi," which is a related form of the word, meaning "to your health."

The concept of "terveydenhuolto" refers to healthcare services in Finland. This system emphasizes accessibility and quality, aiming to ensure that all residents have access to necessary medical care. The Finnish healthcare system is largely funded by taxes, with a mix of public and private providers.

In everyday conversation, "terveyttä" can be used to express concern for someone's health or to wish them a speedy recovery. It encapsulates a deep cultural value placed on well-being and a collective desire for a healthy population. The word signifies not just the absence of disease, but a holistic sense of physical, mental, and social well-being.
