Significado

Everything is working correctly.

🌍

Contexto cultural

The 'Katsastus' (Car Inspection) culture makes 'kunnossa' a very serious word. If a car is not 'kunnossa', it is legally forbidden to drive it. Finns value 'sisu' (grit). Being 'kunnossa' often means you are tough enough to handle the winter or hard work. In Finnish business culture, saying 'kaikki on kunnossa' is a binding promise that the work is complete. There is little room for 'almost' ready. The term 'huippukunnossa' (in peak condition) is used constantly in Finnish media to describe athletes like cross-country skiers.

💡

The 'Fixed' Shortcut

If you don't know the specific verb for 'to repair' (korjata, remontoida, huoltaa), just use 'laittaa kuntoon'. It works for everything from computers to houses.

⚠️

Don't over-use with people

If you ask a healthy person 'Oletko kunnossa?' out of nowhere, they might think they look sick or tired.

Not usually. For food, we use 'syömäkelpoista' (edible) or 'tuoretta' (fresh). However, you can say 'keittiö on kunnossa' (the kitchen is clean/ready).

'Valmis' means 'ready' or 'finished'. 'Kunnossa' means 'functional' or 'in order'. A car can be 'kunnossa' (fixed) but not 'valmis' (ready for you to pick up yet).
