pyykissä

Pyykissä is a Finnish term that directly translates to "in laundry" or "at the laundry". It refers to the state of being involved with or related to the process of washing clothes. This can encompass various activities, such as the actual washing of garments, the sorting of clothes before washing, the folding of clean laundry, or the general concept of household chores related to keeping clothes clean.

The word "pyykissä" is commonly used in everyday conversation in Finland. For instance, someone might say "Olen pyykissä" which means "I am doing laundry" or "I am busy with laundry." It can also be used to describe a situation where laundry is being done or is pending. For example, "Tänään on pyykissä" translates to "Today is laundry day." The term is broad and can apply to both domestic laundry tasks and, in some contexts, to larger-scale laundry operations. The core idea remains the cleaning and maintenance of textiles, particularly clothing.
