kelpoista

Kelpoista is a Finnish adjective form meaning suitable, acceptable, or fit for use. The form kelpoista is the partitive singular of kelpoisa, and it is used when referring to something that is considered acceptable, adequate, or valid for a given purpose. The term appears in everyday language as well as more formal contexts.

The word is common in ordinary speech and in administrative, procurement, and quality-control settings. In legal or regulatory usage, the related noun kelpoisuus denotes eligibility or qualification, and kelpoisuusvaatimukset are the requirements that something must meet to be considered admissible.

Common synonyms include sovelias, soveltuva, sopiva, and kelvollinen. The nuanced differences are subtle: kelpoisa emphasizes adequacy or fitness for a task, kelvollinen can imply compliance with a standard, and soveltuva stresses suitability for a particular purpose.
