päiväkoti

Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈpæi̯ʋæˌkoti/, [ˈpæi̯ʋæˌko̞t̪i]
- Rhymes: -oti
- Syllabification(key): päi‧vä‧ko‧ti
Usage notes
The common translation, kindergarten, is usually incorrect. päiväkoti refers to an earlier stage of education (in Finland, for children up to six years of age); see esikoulu for more details.
päiväkoti technically refers only to the educational institution, but is very commonly used for the stage of education (which is more correctly called varhaiskasvatus) in informal contexts.
