Tukka

Tukka is a Finnish noun meaning hair or a tuft of hair on the head. The word is used in everyday language to describe hair, its appearance, or its style, and it appears in a range of written and spoken contexts from casual conversation to literature.

In usage, tukka refers specifically to hair on the head rather than fur or other bodily hair, and it can be combined with adjectives to describe length, texture, or condition. As a common noun, tukka is inflected according to Finnish grammar, and it participates in standard sentence construction like other everyday words.

Outside Finnish, tukka is not widely used as a standalone term with a distinct meaning. It may occur in transliterations or as part of names in media or texts that reference Finnish language, but it does not have a separate, widely recognized meaning in other languages. A closely related Finnish given name is Tuukka, a common masculine name, which is distinct from the noun tukka.
