oikeallejaan

Oikeallejaan is a Finnish term that translates to "to one's right side" or "on one's right." It is a directional phrase used to indicate position or movement relative to a person's or object's right side. The word "oikealle" means "to the right" and "jaan" is a possessive suffix meaning "its" or "one's." When combined, "oikeallejaan" specifically refers to the right side belonging to the subject in question.

For example, if someone is told to turn "oikeallejaan," they are instructed to turn towards their own right. This is commonly used in directions, instructions, or descriptions of spatial arrangements. The phrase is a straightforward way to convey a specific orientation or directionality in the Finnish language. It is a fundamental part of everyday communication when discussing left and right. Unlike some languages where left and right can be absolute (e.g., cardinal directions), "oikeallejaan" is always relative to the observer or the object being described. This makes it a very personal and context-dependent directional term.
