Tilapäisvieraan

Tilapäisvieraan is a Finnish term that translates to "temporary guest" or "occasional visitor." It generally refers to someone who is not a permanent resident of a household or establishment but is staying there for a limited period. This could encompass a wide range of situations, from friends and family visiting for a few days to someone staying overnight due to unforeseen circumstances.

The concept of a tilapäisvieraan is common in both private homes and in contexts like hotels or guesthouses, where guests are by definition temporary. In social settings, the presence of a tilapäisvieraan often implies a degree of hospitality and accommodation. There might be specific etiquette or customs associated with hosting such guests, depending on cultural norms and the relationship between the host and the visitor.

In some legal or administrative contexts, the term might be used to distinguish between individuals who are officially registered residents and those who are temporarily present. This distinction can be relevant for matters such as mail delivery, emergency services, or the calculation of local services. The duration of the stay is usually the key factor in differentiating a tilapäisvieraan from a permanent resident. The term emphasizes the transient nature of the individual's presence.
