Pyöriikö

Pyöriikö is a Finnish word that translates to "is it spinning?" or "does it spin?" in English. It is a question form of the verb "pyöriä," which means to spin, revolve, or rotate. The word is commonly used in everyday conversation to inquire about the motion of an object. For example, one might ask "Pyöriikö tämä pyörä?" to ask if a particular wheel is spinning.

The word can also be used figuratively. In a more abstract sense, "pyöriikö" can refer to whether something is functioning, operational, or making progress. For instance, if someone is trying to start a new business, they might ask a friend, "Pyöriikö tämä bisnes?" meaning "Is this business running?" or "Is it working out?". This usage implies a continuous process or ongoing activity.

The grammatical structure of "pyöriikö" involves the verb "pyöriä" in its third-person singular present indicative form, "pyörii" (it spins), with the interrogative particle "-kö" attached. This particle transforms a statement into a yes/no question. Therefore, "pyöriikö" directly asks about the spinning motion or operational status of a singular subject. The word's versatility allows it to be applied to both literal and metaphorical situations, making it a common and useful term in the Finnish language.
