Viikonloppuina

Viikonloppuina is a Finnish adverb meaning “on weekends” or “during weekends.” It refers to activities or routines that occur regularly on Saturdays and Sundays rather than on weekdays. The form is used to describe a general time frame for weekends and often appears in statements about habitual plans or patterns. It contrasts with viikonloppuna, which refers to a specific weekend.

Usage is common for describing recurring or habitual weekend behavior. For example: Viikonloppuina moni käy ulkoilemassa. Viikonloppuina perheet viettävät aikaa yhdessä. These sentences express activities that tend to happen on weekends in a general sense.

In Finnish, viikonloppuina is typically used when talking about weekends in a broad, non-specific way. If you want to refer to a particular upcoming weekend, viikonloppuna is used instead.
