Kallioiden

Kallioiden is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun kallio, which means rock, cliff, or rocky outcrop. As a grammatical form, kallioiden is used to express possession or relation to multiple rocks or a rocky area, roughly translating to “of the rocks” or “the rocks’.” It appears in descriptions of terrain, landscapes, and natural features, as well as in written and spoken Finnish.

Common uses include discussing characteristics or conditions of rocky areas, for example kallioiden rosoisuus (the roughness of the rocks), kallioiden reunat (the edges of the rocks), and kallioiden suojelu (the protection of the rocks). It can also occur in geographical descriptions, geological reports, and place names that reference rock features.

Notes: Finnish nouns are declined; kallioiden is specifically the genitive plural. It is not a standalone noun in most contexts but a form that accompanies other nouns or words to describe ownership or relation to rocks. The root kallio refers to bedrock or exposed rock commonly found in Finnish landscapes, including coastal and northern regions. See also kallio and Finnish grammar.
