💖 DateTime::Locale::fi_FI — the fi_FI manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, gather round 🫶 you're looking at the DateTim...e::fi_FI(3) page (yes the name is silly-long, we don't talk about it 💀). It's the User Contributed Perl Documentation for the Finnish Finland locale data. (part 1 of 2, more coming, don't go anywhere 🌸)

✨ NAME ✨

DateTime::Locale::fi_FI — literally locale data examples for the Finnish Finland (fi-FI) locale. That's the whole gig. 🇫🇮

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This pod file is basically a show-and-tell of the locale data you get for the Finnish Finland locale. Think of it as the lookbook 👑 — every day name, month name, quarter, era and format string, all dressed up with example timestamps so you can see exactly what comes out. no cap, it's thorough.

🌈 yw-count-one ('vuoden' Y 'viikko' w)

Year-week with the one plural-count variant — note the two 'vuoden'/'viikko' literals sitting right there in the pattern 🎀

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = vuoden 2008 viikko 6

🎀 Miscellaneous

  • Prefers 24 hour time? — Yes. Military time supremacy, we don't do AM/PM over here 💅
  • Local first day of the week — 1 (maanantai), so Monday gets to be the main character 👑

⭐ Strftime Patterns

These are the strftime-style classics, and yes they behave exactly how the labels say 🦋

💖 %c (%a %e. %Bta %Y %H.%M.%S) — date time format

The whole date and time in one go. Heads up: that middle field really is %Bta, and in the examples you'll see the quirky doubled space and the -tata/-tata endings — copy them exactly, don't "fix" them 🙈

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = ti  5. helmikuutata 2008 18.30.30
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = pe 22. joulukuutata 1995 09.05.02
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = la 15. syyskuutata -10 04.44.23

💜 %x (%d.%m.%Y) — date format

Dotted, day-first, zero-padded. Chef's kiss 🍓

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 05.02.2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22.12.1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 15.09.-10

🔥 %X (%H.%M.%S) — time format

24-hour, dots instead of colons, zero-padded all the way 🌈

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 18.30.30
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 09.05.02
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 04.44.23
