kutsumista

Kutsumista is a Finnish noun that denotes the act of inviting or summoning. It is the inflected form of kutsuminen, the noun that names the action of kutsua, meaning to call, invite, or summon. The base noun kutsuminen refers to the process itself, while kutsumista appears as the partitive/genitive form used in various grammatical constructions to describe aspects or objects of the invitation or summons.

Etymology and related forms: The word derives from kutsu, meaning invitation or call, combined with the verbal suffix -minen to form kutsuminen. Kutsumista, as a member of the kutsuminen family, functions like other Finnish nouns that take the partitive/genitive form in dependent clauses and phrases. It is closely related to kutsu (the invitation as a thing) and kutsua (to invite or to call).

Usage and senses: Kutsumista primarily refers to the process or result of inviting someone to participate in an event or to come to a location. It can also describe invocation or summoning in ceremonial or ritual contexts, and it can be used metaphorically to speak of summoning courage, memory, or attention. In everyday speech, more concrete or direct expressions such as kutsu (an invitation) or kutsua (to invite) are common, while kutsumista appears in contexts that require the nuanced grammatical role of a partitive or a described action.
