tekeväistä

Tekeväistä is a Finnish term that broadly translates to "things to do" or "activities." It is commonly used in contexts related to planning, leisure, and task management. The word itself is a plural form of "tekemä," meaning "a deed" or "something made." When used as "tekeväistä," it refers to a collection of actions, tasks, or entertainment options available or planned.

In everyday Finnish conversation, one might ask "Mitä tekeväistä teillä on viikonloppuna?" which translates to "What things do you have to do this weekend?" This question seeks information about planned activities, errands, or social engagements. Similarly, a website or brochure might list "tekeväistä" for tourists, detailing attractions, events, and recreational opportunities in a particular area.

The concept of tekeväistä can encompass both chores and enjoyable pastimes. For instance, grocery shopping, cleaning, or paying bills can be considered tekeväistä, as can going to the cinema, hiking, or attending a concert. The term is flexible and depends on the context in which it is used. It signifies a list or a set of potential actions that can be undertaken. In some cases, it may imply a need for prioritization or selection from a range of possibilities.
