kyyti

Kyyti is a Finnish noun meaning a ride or trip taken by vehicle. It refers to the act of being transported from one place to another by car, bus, train, bicycle, or other means, and to the transportation itself in everyday speech.

Common expressions include ottaa/antaa kyydin (to get a ride / to give a ride) and olla kyydissä (to be in a vehicle or being driven). Examples: “Sain kyydin kotiin.” “Voinko saada kyydin kaupungille?” “Hän tarjosi kyydin ystävilleen.” The term is widely used in casual conversation and in discussions about transportation arrangements, such as when coordinating lifts or car-sharing.

In usage, kyyti emphasizes the transportation or ride rather than the destination, and it sits alongside more general words for travel such as matka or reissu. The word is common in modern Finnish and understood across dialects and contexts, from everyday errands to informal planning of trips.
