yöaikaisista

yöaikaisista is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective yöaikainen, meaning night-time or occurring during night hours. The word is used to refer to multiple night-time things or conditions in contexts where the elative case is required, for example to indicate origin or source (“from the night-time ones”). In everyday language, the head noun that the adjective describes is often omitted if it is understood from context, producing the standalone form yöaikaisista.

grammar and usage

The base term yöaikainen combines yö (night) with aikainen (related to a time or period). When describing more than one item in the elative case, the form becomes yöaikaisista. This occurs in sentences such as “yöaikaisista töistä” (from the night-time jobs) or “yöaikaisista palveluista” (from the night-time services). The phrase can also appear in nominative plural as yöaikaiset (the night-time ones), with the elative plural ending -ista/-istä added when a source or origin is specified.

contexts and examples

yöaikaisista is common in discussions about labor, services, schedules, or pricing that pertain to night hours. Examples include night shifts and related compensation, night-time services, or policies governing work performed during night hours. It is most often seen in formal text, such as timetables, regulations, or reports, but can also appear in journalism or descriptive writing.

Note: The exact meaning can depend on the accompanying noun and the sentence structure, since yöaikaisista signals a relationship to night-time items in the elative case.
