Säännöllisissä

Säännöllisissä is a Finnish word derived from the noun “säännöllisyys,” meaning regularity, and the prepositional genitive case, translating literally to “in regularity” or “in regular settings.” It is most commonly found in everyday Finnish language as part of compound expressions, for example: säännöllisissä aikoissa (in regular times) or säännöllisissä tilanteissa (in regular circumstances). The term conveys a sense of predictability and routine, and is often used to contrast with more chaotic or sporadic situations.

In public discourse, säännöllisissä is frequently applied to describe schedules, work patterns, and timing of recurring events. For instance, a news article might report that “tätiä on pakko varautua säännöllisissä päivätunneissa” (you must prepare for regular periods). In the field of behavioral studies, the term appears in discussions of habit formation, where researchers examine how individuals maintain säännöllisissä daily routines to achieve long-term goals.

The word also finds place in Finnish literature. Several contemporary authors employ säännöllisissä as a motif to explore themes of consistency versus change. In light fiction, characters may be described as striving to live in säännöllisissä contexts amid the turbulence of modern life.

In business and vocational contexts, säännöllisissä is used to describe regular job duties or standard operating procedures, such as “säännöllisissä tehtävissä työskentelee noin 30 kyllä suomalaista” (around thirty Finnish employees work in regular tasks). Overall, the term underscores the cultural value placed on stability and orderly conduct within Finnish society.
