Puhelukutsu

Puhelukutsu is a Finnish term that translates to "phone call" or "telephone call." It refers to the act of initiating or receiving a voice communication using a telephone or a similar telecommunications device. The term encompasses both the technical process of establishing a connection and the social interaction that occurs during the conversation.

In a broader sense, puhelukutsu can also refer to a summons or an invitation made via telephone. For instance, a doctor might make a puhelukutsu to a patient to schedule an appointment, or a friend might make a puhelukutsu to arrange a meeting. The context typically clarifies whether it refers to a simple phone call or a more formal invitation.

The technology behind a puhelukutsu has evolved significantly over time, from early landline telephones to modern mobile devices and internet-based communication services. Regardless of the underlying technology, the fundamental purpose of a puhelukutsu remains the same: to facilitate direct voice communication between two or more individuals. The use of the term is prevalent in everyday Finnish conversation and in formal communication.
