Muodikas

Muodikas is a Finnish adjective meaning fashionable, stylish, or trendy. It describes something that conforms to current fashion or aesthetic standards. The word can refer to clothing and personal appearance as well as to objects, interiors, or places that are considered stylish. In everyday language, someone might say “Hän on todella muodikas” to indicate someone is very fashionable. It can be used neutrally or with a light positive connotation, and its tone can vary with context, occasionally carrying a humorous or ironic undertone.

Etymology and related forms: Muodikas is formed from muoti, meaning fashion, with the adjectival suffix -kas, yielding the sense of “in fashion.” Related terms include tyylikäs (stylish) and muotitietoinen (fashion-conscious). The adverb is muodikkaasti, and a noun form related to fashionableness exists as muodikkuus.

Usage notes: Muodikas is common in everyday speech and media descriptions of clothing, trends, and public spaces. It tends to describe contemporary styles rather than timeless elegance and can apply to people, outfits, rooms, or venues. Depending on context, it may emphasize current trends or convey a positive appreciation of style.
