pääkäytävässä

Pääkäytävässä is a Finnish term that translates to "in the main corridor" or "in the main hallway" in English. This phrase is commonly used to describe a location within a building, particularly in larger structures such as schools, hospitals, office buildings, or public institutions. It refers to the central passageway that connects various rooms, offices, or sections of the building.

The main corridor often serves as a primary circulation route, facilitating movement between different areas. It might be a wide, well-lit space designed to accommodate a significant flow of people. Depending on the building's purpose, a pääkäytävässä could feature various elements like doors leading to classrooms, patient rooms, or meeting spaces, as well as informational signage, benches, or even display areas.

The term implies a central and important thoroughfare, distinct from smaller side hallways or individual room entrances. When something is described as being "pääkäytävässä," it means it is situated in this main, easily accessible, and high-traffic area of the building. This could be for practical reasons, such as visibility, accessibility, or to indicate a public or communal space.
