Satoja

Satoja is a Finnish word that translates to "hundreds" in English. It is a number referring to a quantity of one hundred. In Finnish grammar, "satoja" is the partitive plural form of the word "sata" (one hundred). This means it is used when referring to an indefinite number of hundreds, or when counting in a way that implies a part of a larger whole. For example, one might say "satoja ihmisiä" meaning "hundreds of people," indicating an approximate number rather than an exact count. The word can also be used figuratively to express a large, uncountable quantity of something. The concept of "hundreds" is fundamental in many counting systems and cultural contexts, representing a significant milestone in numerical progression. In Finland, like in many other countries, the number one hundred holds a certain symbolic value, often associated with completeness or a substantial amount. "Satoja" therefore carries this inherent meaning of plurality and abundance within the Finnish language.
