kaarteiden

Kaarteiden is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun kaarre, which means a bend, curve, or corner. In Finnish, the genitive plural kaarteiden is used to indicate possession or association with multiple curves, for example in descriptions of road geometry, tracks, rivers, or architectural features.

The base word kaarre covers a range of curved forms, from road bends and railway curves to geometric and architectural curves. Kaarteiden is commonly encountered in technical and descriptive writing, such as road design, driving guides, sports commentary, and geography, where the number, radii, or arrangement of curves are relevant. For instance, phrases like kaarteiden radiukset (radii of the curves), kaarteiden määrä (the number of curves), or kaarteiden hallinta (control of the curves) illustrate typical usages.

Morphologically, kaarteiden is the genitive plural form, used with nouns and adjectives to describe relationships to multiple curves, for example "kaarteiden reunukset" (edge of curves) or "kaarteiden muoto" (shape of the curves). Because Finnish relies on case endings rather than prepositions to mark relationships, kaarteiden often follows the modifying noun or adjective in descriptive phrases.

In summary, kaarteiden is a Finnish grammatical form rather than a standalone concept. It appears wherever multiple curves are being described or quantified, especially in engineering, sports, and geographic contexts. See also kaarre (the base noun) for broader definitions and related terms.
