olla hyödyllinen

to be useful

意味

Serving a helpful function.

🌍

文化的背景

Finns value 'toimivuus' (functionality). A gift that is 'hyödyllinen' is often better than one that is just 'kaunis' (beautiful). In meetings, being 'hyödyllinen' means providing data or solutions. Small talk is often seen as 'epähyödyllinen' (useless). The tradition of 'Talkoot' relies on everyone being 'hyödyllinen' for the community. The philosophy of 'form follows function' means objects are designed primarily to be 'hyödyllinen'.

💡

The Partitive Trick

If you are talking about an action (like 'swimming' or 'reading'), always use 'hyödyllistä'.

⚠️

Don't be a tool!

Avoid calling your friends 'hyödyllinen' unless you are talking about their skills in a project.

Intensify it

Add 'todella' (really) or 'erittäin' (extremely) to sound more natural: 'Tämä on todella hyödyllinen!'

Fill in the correct form of the verb 'olla'.

Tämä sanakirja ___ hyödyllinen.

✓ 正解! ✗ おしい! 正解: on

'Sanakirja' (dictionary) is a third-person singular subject, so we use 'on'.

Choose the correct form of the adjective.

On ___ oppia uusia kieliä.

✓ 正解! ✗ おしい! 正解: hyödyllistä

The subject is an infinitive verb phrase ('to learn new languages'), which requires the partitive case.

Match the Finnish sentence with its English translation.

Match the following:

✓ 正解! ✗ おしい! 正解: Tämä on hyödyllinen -> This is useful; Tämä oli hyödyllinen -> This was useful; Nämä ovat hyödyllisiä -> These are useful; Tämä ei ole hyödyllinen -> This is not useful

Focus on the tense (on/oli) and number (on/ovat).

Complete the dialogue.

A: 'Tässä on uusi sovellus.' B: 'Kiitos! Se on varmasti ____.'

✓ 正解! ✗ おしい! 正解: hyödyllinen

The pronoun 'se' refers to 'sovellus' (a countable noun), so we use the nominative.

Yes, but mostly in a professional context (e.g., 'a useful employee'). For friends, use 'auttavainen'.

'Hyödyllinen' is for countable things (a book). 'Hyödyllistä' is for abstract things or actions (advice, running).

It is neutral. You can use it with your boss or your best friend.

The opposite is 'hyödytön'.

Yes, this is a very common and natural collocation.
