Poimimisen

Poimimisen is the genitive form of the Finnish noun poimiminen, which denotes the act of picking, harvesting, or selecting items by hand from a group. In everyday language the underlying idea is the process of collecting something by carefully choosing it, such as berries, fruit, or samples.

The term poimiminen is formed from the verb poimia, meaning to pick or pluck. As a verbal noun, poimiminen is used to refer to the act itself, while poimimisen serves to indicate possession or relation in phrases such as “poimimisen aikana” (during the picking) or “poimimisen jälkeen” (after the picking). The genitive form is common in Finnish grammar and is not typically used to name a separate concept beyond grammatical context.

Usage and context: Poimimisen appears most often in linguistic discussions about Finnish grammar and in phrases where the act is described in relation to time, place, or other actions. In everyday speech, speakers more commonly use poiminta or poimiminen to refer to the act directly. Poimimisen as a genitive form helps express relationships like ownership or association with the act of picking.
