Jarrutusten

Jarrutusten is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun jarrutukset, which means braking events or brake actions. In Finnish, jarrutukset refers to the act or process of braking, and jarrutusten is used to indicate possession or relation to multiple braking events, as in phrases like jarrutusten määrä (the number of braking events) or jarrutusten aikana (during braking). The form is common in technical and scientific writing about driving, vehicle dynamics, and road safety, where multiple braking instances are analyzed or described.

Etymology and morphology: The base is jarrutus, from the verb jarruttaa (to brake), with the nominal suffix -us to form a noun meaning braking. Plural jarrutukset denotes multiple braking events, and the genitive plural is jarrutusten. This grammatical pattern allows jarrutusten to appear in phrases that modify other nouns or indicate relationships, such as jarrutusten vaikutus or jarrutusten aikana.

Usage context: Jarrutusten occurs primarily in formal or technical Finnish, including traffic research, vehicle testing reports, and safety assessments. In everyday language, people more often use the singular jarrutus or simple phrases referencing braking events without employing the genitive plural form. Nevertheless, jarrutusten provides a precise way to discuss several braking episodes within a single frame of reference.
