Hyppäysten

Hyppäysten is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun hyppäys, which means a jump or leap. The form is used when referring to jumps that belong to or are associated with someone or something, for example in phrases like hyppäysten määrä (the number of jumps) or hyppäysten korkeus (the height of the jumps).

Hyppäys itself is formed from the verb hyppää (to jump) with the nominalizing suffix -ys, creating a word that denotes the act or result of jumping. The genitive plural ending -en (hyppäysten) marks possession or association in plural. The form is common in written Finnish for discussing multiple jumps in sports, dance, or biomechanics, and can also be used figuratively to describe a large leap or rapid progress in a field, e.g., kehitys as a hyppäysten harjaantuminen.

In usage, hyppäysten appears as part of noun phrases rather than as a standalone concept. It is primarily a grammatical form, with the underlying lemma hyppäys occurring in dictionaries.
