tehokas
Finnish
Adjective
tehokas (comparative tehokkaampi, superlative tehokkain)
Usage notes
This word is used for both effective and efficient; there is no distinction and it must be expressed through other means if necessary. In addition to using tehokas for both, effective could be translated as tuloksia tuottava (“which produces results”), while efficient may be described with terms like säästäväinen (“prudent, frugal, thrifty”) and taloudellinen (“economical”).
