kuljet

Kuljet is a Finnish linguistic term used to denote the verbal stem kuljet-, found in a family of verbs and related nouns about movement or conveyance. It is not a stand-alone lexical item in standard Finnish dictionaries; instead, it appears as the base to which inflectional endings and derivational suffixes attach.

In Finnish grammar, kuljet- combines with personal endings to form present tense verbs, such as kuljetan (I transport) and kuljetat (you transport). The stem also appears in the infinitive kuljettaa (to transport) and in derived forms including participles. The passive voice can be expressed with endings such as kuljetettiin (it was transported). Derivationally, nouns and adjectives such as kuljetus (transport, shipment) and kuljetusmuoto (form of transport) are built from the same root.

Meaning and usage: The core semantic field covers movement of goods or people from one location to another, including shipping, freight, and conveyance. In practice, kuljet- is used across sectors like logistics, transportation planning, and infrastructure discourse, but is typically encountered within morphological and lexical explanations rather than as an independent term.

Relation to related terms: Related words include kuljetus (transportation), kuljettaa (to transport), kuljetusyritys (transport company), and kuljetusmuoto (mode of transport). See also: broader Finnish traffic, logistics, and shipping terminology.
