The days of the week in Finnish are maanantai, tiistai, keskiviikko, torstai, perjantai, lauantai, sunnuntai, all of which are abbreviated by taking the word's first two letters (ma, ti, ke, to, pe, la, su). Below is a list of all words that can be formed from these syllables so that the earlier day is first, along with their meanings in English. So, if you see an ad that states the days of the week when something is open, these are the words you may encounter hyphenated with no relation to the meaning itself.
