lähtövalmiita

Lähtövalmiita is a Finnish term that translates to "ready to depart" or "ready to leave." It is commonly used in contexts related to transportation, such as trains, buses, or airplanes, to indicate that a vehicle is prepared to begin its journey. The phrase signifies that all necessary preparations have been completed, including passenger boarding, baggage loading, and any pre-departure checks.

When a train or bus is described as lähtövalmiita, it means passengers can board and the service will commence shortly. In the context of air travel, lähtövalmiita might be announced for an aircraft when boarding is complete and the flight is cleared for pushback and taxiing to the runway. The term implies a state of readiness and anticipation for movement.

Beyond transportation, lähtövalmiita can also be used more broadly to describe a person or group that is prepared and eager to start an activity or go somewhere. For example, a group of friends might be described as lähtövalmiita for a hike or a party. The phrase conveys a sense of preparedness and an imminent start to an action or event. It is a straightforward and practical expression used in everyday Finnish conversation and official announcements.
