kunossa

Kunossa is a Finnish term meaning in good condition or in good health. It is the inessive form of the noun kunto, which denotes condition, fitness, or readiness. The form kunossa is used to describe the current state of a person or an object.

Examples of usage include "Olen kunnossa" (I’m okay / I’m in good health) and "Kone on kunnossa" (The machine is in good working order). The expression is common in everyday speech and appears in contexts such as healthcare, sports, and maintenance.

Etymology and grammatical note: the word combines the root kunto with the inessive case suffix -ssa, indicating location in or state of being. The broader concept of kunto covers physical condition, general fitness, and readiness. In negative statements, one can say "ei ole kunnossa" to indicate that something is not okay or not in good condition.

Related phrases include "pysyä kunnossa" (to stay in good shape) and "saada kuntoon" or "saada kuntoon" (to get into proper condition/repair). Kunossa is a common, non-proper noun usage and is not capitalized.
