Työpäiviinilmauksia

Työpäiviinilmauksia refers to expressions or phrases used in Finnish to describe workdays or periods of working. These can range from general terms to more specific descriptions of the nature or duration of work.

A common and straightforward term is simply "työpäivä," meaning a single workday. When discussing multiple workdays, "työpäivät" is used. Phrases like "pitkä työpäivä" describe a long workday, while "lyhyt työpäivä" indicates a short one. The concept of "työviikko" refers to a workweek, and "työvuosi" to a working year.

More specific expressions might relate to the schedule or type of work. For instance, "vuorotyö" describes shift work, where employees work at different times of the day or night. "Etätyö" refers to remote work, where an employee works from home or another location outside the traditional office. "Joustava työaika" denotes flexible working hours, allowing employees some autonomy in choosing their start and end times.

Expressions can also convey the intensity or feeling associated with work. "Raskas työpäivä" implies a difficult or strenuous workday, while "helppo työpäivä" suggests a lighter or less demanding one. The idiom "työpäivän päätteeksi" means at the end of the workday, commonly used to indicate activities after work hours. Understanding these various työpäiviinilmauksia provides insight into how work and time are conceptualized and discussed in Finnish.
