Diaritermejä

Diaritermejä refers to a collection of terms and concepts associated with the practice of keeping a diary or journal. These terms can encompass various aspects of diary writing, its purpose, and the content it may contain.

Common diaritermejä include "päiväkirja" itself, meaning diary. "Merkintä" refers to an individual entry within the diary. "Muistiinpano" can also be used for a jotting or note, often less formal than a full diary entry. The act of writing is often described as "kirjoittaminen" or "päiväkirjan pitäminen".

The purpose of diary keeping can be expressed through terms like "itsetutkiskelu" (self-reflection), "muistojen tallentaminen" (recording memories), or "tunteiden purkaminen" (venting emotions). Some diaries may focus on specific themes, leading to terms like "matkapäiväkirja" (travel journal) or "uni-päiväkirja" (dream journal).

The physical format of a diary can also be a diaritermi, such as "vihko" (notebook) or "muistikirja" (notebook/journal). Digital diaries might be referred to by terms related to apps or online platforms. The language used within diaries can vary greatly, from simple factual accounts to more elaborate descriptive passages, and diaritermejä can describe these stylistic differences. Understanding these terms helps to categorize and discuss the diverse world of personal journaling.
