Yöpyjiksi

Yöpyjiksi is a Finnish translative form of the noun yöpyjä, meaning "overnight guest" or "lodger." The translative suffix -ksi marks a change of state or role, so yöpyjiksi roughly means "into an overnight guest" or "as an overnight guest." It is used to describe someone becoming or being regarded as an overnight guest, typically in contexts of temporary status or role.

In practice, yöpyjä refers to a person who stays the night at someone else's home or at a lodging facility. The translative form yöpyjiksi is used with verbs of becoming, such as tulla or muuttua: "Hän tuli yöpyjiksi ystävän luona" or "Hän muuttui yöpyjäksi." The singular form is yöpyjäksi, and the plural form is yöpyjiksi.

Common contexts include language-learning exercises, descriptions of lodging arrangements, or discussions of Finnish case grammar. The term functions mainly as a grammatical illustration and does not denote a separate organization or brand.

Related terms include yöpyä (to stay overnight) and yöpyjä (overnight guest). In everyday speech, speakers may express the idea using other phrases, but yöpyjiksi is the standard translative form for indicating becoming an overnight guest.
