tehokas

Finnish

Etymology

teho- + -kas

Adjective

tehokas (comparative tehokkaampi, superlative tehokkain)

  1. powerful, potent
  2. effective
  3. efficient

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).
