huudahduksen

Huudahduksen is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun huudahdus, which denotes an exclamation or outcry—an utterance expressing strong emotion, surprise, or emphasis. The term is used both in everyday language and in linguistic or literary analysis to refer to a single exclamatory utterance or to the broader category of such utterances.

Etymology and meaning: Huudahdus is formed from the verb huutaa (to shout) and its related noun huuto (a shout, cry), with the nominalizing suffix -dus. The word describes a momentary vocal outburst or interjection that stands outside a normal sentence structure, often marked in writing by an exclamation point or quotation marks.

Grammar and usage: In ordinary text, huudahdukset are the actual exclamations heard or read, such as "Apua!" or "Voi!" In linguistic descriptions, huudahduksen refers to the exclamation itself or to its properties, such as tone or intensity. The noun follows Finnic declension patterns; singular genitive is huudahduksen, plural nominative huudahdukset, and plural genitive huudahdusten.
