Pilviseksi

Pilviseksi is a Finnish word that translates to "cloudy" or "becoming cloudy" in English. It is primarily used to describe atmospheric conditions, specifically the state of the sky. When the weather is described as pilviseksi, it indicates that clouds are present, obscuring the sun or making the sky appear overcast. This can range from a few scattered clouds to a completely covered sky. The term is commonly used in weather forecasts and everyday conversations about the weather in Finland.

The word is derived from the Finnish word "pilvi," meaning "cloud." The "-kseksi" suffix indicates a change of state or becoming something. Therefore, "pilviseksi" literally means "becoming cloudy" or "turning into a cloudy state." It can be used to describe a transition from a clear sky to a cloudy one, or simply the current condition of being cloudy. For example, a forecast might say "Sää muuttuu pilviseksi iltapäivällä," meaning "The weather will become cloudy in the afternoon." Similarly, one might observe "Taivas on pilviseksi," meaning "The sky is cloudy." The term is a straightforward descriptor of meteorological conditions.
