نکات
Basic question word
Miksi is a very common question word. It means why.
Use with verbs
You'll almost always see miksi followed by a verb. For example, Miksi itket? (Why are you crying?)
Answering 'miksi'
To answer a miksi question, you often use koska (because). For instance, Miksi opiskelet suomea? Koska se on kiinnostavaa. (Why are you studying Finnish? Because it is interesting.)
Direct questions
Use miksi for direct questions: Miksi menet sinne? (Why are you going there?)
Indirect questions
You can also use miksi in indirect questions: En tiedä, miksi hän lähti. (I don't know why he left.)
No separate 'for'
Unlike English 'what for', miksi already contains the meaning of 'for what reason'. You don't need another word like varten.
Don't confuse with 'mitä'
Be careful not to mix up miksi (why) with mitä (what). They are different question words.
Practice asking
Try to form simple miksi questions about your day. For example, Miksi syöt aamupalaa? (Why are you eating breakfast?)
Listen for it
Pay attention to when native speakers use miksi. It's a very common word in everyday conversation.
Can start a sentence
Miksi almost always starts a question or an indirect question clause. It rarely appears in the middle or end of a sentence unless it's part of a very specific poetic structure.
