Sukelluksen

Sukelluksen is a Finnish grammatical form that denotes the genitive singular of the noun sukellus, meaning diving. It is used to indicate association, possession, or relation to diving, and appears in noun phrases such as sukelluksen historia (the history of diving) or sukelluksen turvallisuus (the safety of diving).

In Finnish, sukellus refers to underwater diving, including recreational scuba diving, freediving, and professional or technical diving. The genitive form sukelluksen is commonly found in contexts describing aspects of diving, such as equipment, training, safety, or research. Examples include sukelluksen laitteet (diving equipment), sukelluksen turvallisuus (diving safety), and sukelluksen harjoittelu (diving training).

Morphologically, sukelluksen is formed from the base sukellus with the genitive singular ending -n, a typical pattern for many Finnish nouns. The form is used regardless of whether the reference is to a general concept or a specific instance of diving. Phrases such as sukelluksen aikana (during diving), sukelluksen jälkeen (after diving), and sukelluksen mittaus (measurement of diving) illustrate its functional role in modifying other nouns or clauses.

usage notes: Sukelluksen is not a standalone concept but a grammatical marker used inFinnish to link related topics to diving. Its meaning derives from sukellus, and the genitive form is required where possession, association, or description of diving is intended.
