Hyökäysten

Hyökäysten is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun hyökkäys, meaning an attack or assault. It is used in neutral, formal Finnish to refer to multiple attacks or to discuss attacks as a wider concept. The nominative plural is hyökäykset, the genitive singular is hyökäyksen, and the genitive plural is hyökäysten.

Hyökkäys derives from the verb hyökätä, to attack. Hyökäysten is used when describing attacks as a set or as events connected to another noun, for example hyökäysten aikana (during the attacks) or hyökäysten seuraukset (the consequences of the attacks). It is common in historical, military, and security-related writing, but can appear in other contexts where multiple attacks are discussed. Grammatically, hyökäysten is a case form rather than a standalone lexical item.

Example usage can include phrases such as: Kaupungin puolustus torjui useita hyökäysten yrityksiä. Hyökäysten seuraukset olivat merkittäviä. In sports or contemporary discourse, hyökkäys is often used to denote offense, with hyökäysten as the genitive plural form used to discuss multiple attacks within a narrative or analysis. Overall, hyökäysten functions as a standard grammatical form for talking about several attacks in Finnish.
