vastaiseksi
Vastaiseksi is a Finnish adverb meaning for the time being, temporarily, or provisionally. It indicates that a state, arrangement, or decision is not intended as permanent and may change later. The term is less common in everyday speech than toistaiseksi, and it is more often found in formal, bureaucratic, or literary contexts.
Vastaiseksi conveys provisional status and a sense of temporary acceptance or operation. It can describe decisions,
- Tämä järjestely on vastaiseksi. (This arrangement is for the time being.)
- Päätös on vastaiseksi. (The decision is provisional.)
- toistaiseksi: the most common expression for “for the time being” or “until further notice.”
- tilapäisesti or väliaikaisesti: synonyms emphasizing temporary duration.
