loppupäivällä

Loppupäivällä is a Finnish word that translates to "in the late afternoon" or "towards the end of the day." It is a temporal adverbial phrase used to indicate a period of time that occurs after midday and before the evening or night. The phrase is composed of two parts: "loppu," meaning "end" or "close," and "päivällä," meaning "during the day" or "in the afternoon." Therefore, "loppupäivällä" literally signifies the concluding part of the daytime.

This expression is commonly used in everyday conversation and writing to describe events or activities that take place during the latter hours of daylight. For example, one might say "Menimme kävelylle loppupäivällä" which translates to "We went for a walk in the late afternoon." It can also be used more broadly to refer to the general period when the day begins to wind down. The exact time frame that "loppupäivällä" encompasses can vary slightly depending on context, but it generally refers to the hours between approximately 3 PM and 6 PM. It is a useful phrase for specifying a time without needing to be overly precise.
