osapäiväisesti

Osapäiväisesti is a Finnish adverb that translates to "part-time" or "on a part-time basis" in English. It is used to describe an arrangement or activity that is not full-time. This can apply to various aspects of life, most commonly employment. When someone works osapäiväisesti, they are employed for fewer hours than a standard full-time position. The exact number of hours considered part-time can vary depending on the employer and the specific agreement, but it is generally understood to be less than 37.5 or 40 hours per week.

The term osapäiväisesti can also be used in other contexts. For instance, studies can be pursued osapäiväisesti, meaning a student is enrolled for fewer courses or attends classes on a less than full-time schedule. Similarly, services or memberships might be offered osapäiväisesti, indicating access or use for a limited portion of the available time. The core meaning remains consistent: less than full engagement or commitment in terms of time. This allows for flexibility, enabling individuals to balance work, study, or other responsibilities with other aspects of their lives.
