Tuokion

Tuokion is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun tuokio. The base word tuokio refers to a short, defined period of time allocated for a specific activity, such as a meeting, a lesson, a performance segment, or any discrete interval within a program. In Finnish, the concept emphasizes a self-contained block within a larger schedule and is commonly used in planning and description of events.

Usage and scope: Tuokio is used in education, media, culture, and event planning to refer to a specific segment of time. It appears in scheduling, program notes, and descriptions of event structure. For example, tuokion kesto on noin 30 minuuttia means the duration of the session is about 30 minutes, and ohjelma koostuu useista tuokioista means the program consists of several sessions.

Grammar: Tuokion is the genitive singular form, used to indicate possession or association, as in tuokion kesto (the duration of the session). The plural form is tuokiot, and other case forms follow standard Finnish declined patterns (tuokio, tuokiota, tuokiossa, etc.).
