What's the difference between an aikakauslehti and a lehti? Can you give an example?
Kiitos.
aikakauslehti vs lehti
Re: aikakauslehti vs lehti
Aikakauslehti = a magazine that is published at regular intervals (e.g. weekly or monthly)
Lehti = any magazine or newspaper
Lehti = any magazine or newspaper
Re: aikakauslehti vs lehti
aikakauslehti = “magazine”, “periodical”, “serial”: published with a regular schedule, though typically not as often as a daily newspaper. The focus is not so much on daily news — although current issues are often covered — and the articles are often longer and have more background. Magazines often revolve around a certain theme which is their primary focus (such as cars & technology, politics & human interest stories, celebrity gossip, knitting, or computer games) and ignore other topics.pinguin wrote:What's the difference between an aikakauslehti and a lehti?

sanomalehti = “newspaper”: typically published daily or several times a week, covering breaking news and current affairs. The type of paper on which they’re printed is usually cheaper and the format larger than those used in magazines.
päivälehti = a “quality” newspaper — as opposed to a “yellow press” tabloid. In Finland, these papers are typically subscription-based and delivered to home early in the morning (very few are sold at newsstands daily)
iltapäivälehti = a tabloid newspaper, publishing daily news and gossip, usually with bold, screaming headlines and with a tendency of scandalizing their stories, at least in those headlines used for marketing. These are sold at kiosks/corner stores/newsstands and near the checkout counters of the grocery stores; you can’t subscribe to them.
lehti = a common term for discussing or referring to any newspaper or magazine when there’s no need to specify its type or when it is obvious from the context. (Also means “leaf”, as in “leaves of trees”.)

Ihana, kiitos!
Re: aikakauslehti vs lehti
Some more:
paikallislehti = “local paper”. Traditionally subscription-based and covering only a single locality, or maybe a couple of municipalities located right next to each other. Often only prints stories of local relevance, letting bigger media handle everything else. Might be quite thin and new issues may come out biweekly or weekly — usually not daily.
maakuntalehti = “provincial newspaper”. Typically the largest generic daily paper people subscribe to in a given (geographically broad) area. The readership areas might roughly correspond to the traditional Finnish provinces. These papers usually run local, national, and international news stories and featured articles on all areas of life, and, in pre-Internet times, used to be the primary source of daily news for their readers, along with TV and radio news broadcasts. (For instance, Ilkka, which is read in Seinäjoki and the municipalities around it [Southern Ostrobothnia area], or Kaleva in Oulu and its neighborhood.) The editors are often seen as having some political power in forming the local opinions, or voicing them nationally. Many of these papers used to be loosely associated with a particular political party, supporting the views and talking points of that party in their editorials, but have since declared themselves independent. (The term maakuntalehti is sometimes contrasted in a bit belittling or derisive way with Helsingin Sanomat, which at least the HS editors themselves are fond of seeing as something greater than just the equivalent of a provincial paper for the Helsinki metropolitan area.)
ilmaisjakelulehti = “free(-of-charge) (news)paper”. These typically print the same kind of stories as the traditional, subscription-based small local papers, but with lots of more ads and less content. Sometimes associated with a particular local merchant, such as the Ykköset! paper, which has connections to Veljekset Keskinen.
kaupunkilehti = (lit. “city paper”) the urban version of the above, focusing on a particular city. Some of these read much like a traditional local paper, only with more ads, or might even have killed and replaced the traditional local paper. Some others try hard to appeal to the bar-going young urban adults, hipsters and what have you (reflected in the type of stories, typography, and ads they print, which are mostly about bars and gigs and nightlife.)
puoluelehti = a political newspaper. Typically published by a particular political party, voicing the opinions of MPs and other politicians, and covering issues and news items which are close to the interests of the party and its supporters, in newspaper format.
