iltapäivänä

iltapäivänä is a Finnish word that translates to "in the afternoon." It refers to the period of the day between noon and evening. The exact duration and perception of iltapäivänä can vary culturally and individually, but it generally encompasses the hours after lunch and before dinner. In Finland, as in many other cultures, iltapäivänä is often a time for work, school, or various activities. It can also be a time for relaxation, coffee breaks, or spending time with family and friends. The amount of daylight during iltapäivänä also changes significantly throughout the year in Finland due to its northern latitude, with long daylight hours in summer and short daylight hours in winter. The transition from midday to evening is marked by a gradual decrease in sunlight and a shift in ambient temperature.
