kädennosto

Kädennosto is a Finnish term that translates to "hand-raising" or "lifting of the hand." It is most commonly used in a parliamentary or deliberative assembly context to describe the act of a member signaling their desire to speak or vote. When a member wishes to be recognized by the presiding officer, they will typically raise their hand. This is a fundamental procedural element in many decision-making bodies, ensuring order and allowing for orderly participation.

Beyond formal settings, kädennosto can also refer to a simple gesture of raising one's hand to attract attention or indicate agreement in a less formal group. In some sports or activities, it might signify a signal or a specific maneuver. The core meaning remains consistent: the physical act of lifting a hand as a form of communication or indication. The specific context in which kädennosto is used will determine its precise function and meaning.
