Gaasujen

Gaasujen is the Finnish genitive plural form of the noun kaasu, used to refer to “of gases” or “the gases” in contexts where possession or association with multiple gases is described. In Finnish, the genitive plural is commonly employed in scientific, technical, and formal writing to indicate a relationship to a set of items, in this case gases.

The term kaasu itself has origins in Germanic languages, with the modern Finnish word widely used for the substance in chemistry and everyday language. Kaasujen is used in phrases such as kaasujen koostumus (the composition of gases), kaasujen pitoisuus (the concentration of gases), and kaasujen seos (a gas mixture). While kaasu is the everyday word for gas, kaasujen is the appropriate form when the discussion concerns more than one gas or a collective property of gases.

In practice, kaasujen appears in scientific literature, engineering manuals, and regulatory texts when describing scenarios that involve multiple gases, such as air components, industrial gas mixtures, or environmental monitoring. The usage is strictly grammatical and does not denote a separate concept beyond the plural genitive form of kaasu.
