Tuntikohtaiset

Tuntikohtaiset is a Finnish adjectival form meaning "hourly" or "by the hour", most commonly encountered as the plural nominative/accusative form of tuntikohtainen. It is formed from tunti ("hour") plus the suffix -kohtainen, which creates adjectives expressing segmentation or distribution according to units (in this case, hours). As an attributive adjective it modifies nouns to indicate that something is reported, organized or measured on an hourly basis.

The term is frequently used in contexts requiring time-resolved data, for example tuntikohtaiset tiedot (hourly data), tuntikohtaiset hinnat (hourly prices), tuntikohtaiset mittaukset (hourly measurements) and tuntikohtaiset sääennusteet (hourly weather forecasts). It appears in technical reporting, energy markets (hourly electricity pricing), transportation schedules, meteorology and statistical releases.

Grammatically, the base adjective is tuntikohtainen (singular) and tuntikohtaiset is its plural form; it follows standard Finnish inflection patterns and agrees in case and number with the noun it modifies. In usage it is primarily attributive but can appear in nominalized constructions when context allows (for example shortened references to hourly reports). The term is neutral in tone and widely understood in Finnish administrative, scientific and everyday language.
