kovenantteja

Kovenantteja is the plural form of kovenantti, a Finnish noun used to describe formal agreements or covenants between parties. The term is a loanword from the English “covenant” and appears mainly in specialized or scholarly Finnish. In everyday language, more common terms such as liitto or sopimus are typically used, depending on the context.

In theology, kovenantti denotes a solemn agreement between God and humanity. Finnish biblical discourse often refers to the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, concepts commonly rendered as Vanha liitto and Uusi liitto, though some sources also use kovenantti to emphasize the covenant as a divine promise.

In legal contexts, kovenantti can refer to a covenant that imposes rights or restrictions, particularly in property law (for example, a restrictive covenant affecting land use) or in contract law (obligations within an agreement). The term thus covers both religious and secular uses, with nuances depending on the field.

The plural form kovenantteja simply indicates multiple covenants. Because the term overlaps with liitto and sopimus, its precise meaning is context-dependent. When encountering kovenantteja, refer to field-specific glossaries or translations to determine whether the reference is theological, legal, historical, or otherwise specialized.
