kuntoaan

kuntoaan is a Finnish word form derived from the noun kunto, meaning "condition", "fitness" or "state of health". In everyday usage kuntoaan refers to "one's own condition" or "his/her condition", and is commonly encountered in contexts discussing physical fitness, health, recovery and maintenance.

Grammatical note: kuntoaan appears when the speaker refers reflexively or possessively to the subject’s condition and is used as the object of verbs or in partitive constructions. It regularly occurs with verbs that describe change or care (for example parantaa, kohentaa, huoltaa, heikentää, pitää yllä), as in the common expression parantaa kuntoaan ("to improve one's fitness").

Usage and contexts: kuntoaan is frequent in health and sports reporting, fitness advice, medical contexts and casual conversation about wellbeing. Typical collocations include parantaa kuntoaan (improve one’s fitness), pitää kuntoaan yllä (maintain one’s fitness) and huolehtia kunnostaan (take care of one’s condition).

Translation: depending on context, kuntoaan is translated into English as "his/her/one's condition", "one's fitness", or "one’s health". The form conveys both possession and reflexivity, and its exact nuance depends on the surrounding verb and sentence structure.
