jaksojen

Jaksojen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun jakso, which has several related meanings, including a period or term (such as a school term or calendar period) and an episode of a television program. As a genitive plural form, jaksojen is used to indicate possession or a relationship with multiple episodes or periods, typically preceding another noun.

In usage, jaksojen naturally appears in phrases that describe characteristics or quantities of several episodes or periods. For example, sarjan jaksojen nimet means the titles of the episodes, jaksojen kesto means the duration of the episodes, and opintojaksojen määrä refers to the number of study modules. These constructions show how the genitive plural modifies a following noun to express relationships like ownership, content, or measurement.

Finnish grammar notes: jaksojen is formed from the plural form jaksot by adding the genitive plural suffix -en. The base nominative plural is jaksot, while jaksojen serves when the word is in the genitive plural within a noun phrase. The head noun in such phrases remains in its ordinary case, while jaksojen carries the genitive form to denote the plural possessive relation.

Common contexts for jaksojen include discussions of television series, educational curricula, project phases, or any setting that groups episodes or periods under a collective descriptor.
