Tallennuksen

Tallennuksen is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun tallennus. Tallennus, derived from the verb tallentaa, broadly means the act of saving or recording, and can also refer to the saved data or recording itself, depending on context.

In usage, tallennus covers both data saving (such as file storage and backups) and the act of recording audio or video. It is common in information technology, media production, and everyday language about digital devices. The genitive form tallennuksen appears in phrases such as tallennuksen laatu (the quality of the recording/save), tallennuksen aikana (during the recording/save), and tallennuksen lopettaminen (the stopping of the recording/save). It can also indicate possession or association, as in the recording’s attributes or contents.

A related noun, tallentaminen, denotes the act of recording as an ongoing process, with the corresponding genitive tallentamisen. The distinction between tallennus and tallentaminen is subtle and mainly related to nuance: tallentaminen emphasizes the process, while tallennus can refer more broadly to the concept or the result.

The term is widely used in technical interfaces, manuals, and discussions about data management, audio and video capture, and archival work. Understanding tallennuksen as the genitive form helps parse phrases that describe characteristics, timing, or ownership related to a recording or a saving operation.
