Käyks

Käyks is a Finnish word that functions as an interrogative particle. It is typically placed at the end of a sentence to turn a statement into a question. Its usage is informal and often found in spoken language. Käyks can be translated into English as "is it," "does it," or "will it," depending on the context of the sentence. It is a shortened form that conveys a sense of casual inquiry.

For example, a statement like "Se on kiva" (It is nice) could be transformed into a question using käyks: "Se on kiva, käyks?" (Is it nice?). This particle helps to solicit confirmation or elicit an opinion from the listener. It is not used in formal writing or in situations requiring a more direct or polite form of questioning. The use of käyks implies familiarity between the speakers and contributes to a more relaxed conversational atmosphere. It is a versatile suffix that can be appended to various verb conjugations and nouns to form questions.
