astua voimaan

== Finnish == === Etymology === astua (“to step”) + voimaan (“into force”), calque of Swedish träda i kraft === Verb === astua voimaan (now proscribed) synonym of tulla voimaan ==== Usage notes ==== astua voimaan was once the standard and most common expression for “come into effect, come into force”, but starting from the mid-20th century, has begun to be proscribed in favor of tulla voimaan, as astua voimaan is a calque from Swedish and there has been a concerted effort to remove overt Swedish influence from the language. However, astua voimaan remains common in informal contexts. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== voimaanastuminen
