Aaltojen

Aaltojen is a Finnish noun form meaning the waves’ or of waves. It is the genitive plural form of aalto, which itself means a wave or a disturbance that propagates through a medium such as water, air, or other substances. In Finnish, the genitive plural -en/-ien form is used to indicate possession, association, or attribution to multiple waves, for example aaltojen energia (the energy of the waves) or aaltojen korkeus (the height of the waves).

In usage, aaltojen is common in scientific, meteorological, and coastal contexts, as well as in general descriptions of sea conditions. Phrases such as aaltojen suunta (the direction of the waves), aaltojen taajuus (the frequency of the waves), and aaltojen vaikutus rannikkoon (the effect of the waves on the coast) illustrate how the form links attributes to waves collectively rather than to a single wave. It can also appear in discussions of wave phenomena beyond water, including acoustic or electromagnetic waves, when referring to multiple waves or wave systems.

Pronunciation is approximately as sounds: aaltojen is pronounced [ˈɑːl.to.jen] in Finnish, with the final j representing a y-sound and the -en suffix marking genitive plural. The form is a regular grammatical construction in Finnish and serves as a key way to express relationships involving multiple waves.
