Vammojen

Vammojen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun vamma, meaning injury or handicap. In Finnish, the genitive plural expresses possession or association, roughly translating to “of injuries” when it appears with another noun. The form is used to indicate relationships to multiple injuries in medical, legal, sports, or general contexts.

In terms of grammar, the related forms are vammat for the nominative plural and vamman for the singular genitive. Vammojen, therefore, is the standard genitive plural used with nouns that describe or relate to more than one injury. It functions as a grammatical inflection rather than a standalone lexical item.

Examples of usage include vammojen hoito (treatment of injuries), vammojen vaikutus (the effect of injuries), and vammojen määrä (the number or extent of injuries). The construction is common in medical reporting, insurance discussions, sports injuries discourse, and academic writing dealing with injury statistics or consequences.

Etymology-wise, vamma is a native Finnish noun, and vammojen follows the common Finnish pattern for forming the genitive plural with the suffix -jen. This inflection allows speakers to connect nouns and describe relationships involving multiple injuries without changing the base word.
