kymmeniensiin

kymmeniensiin is a Finnish word that translates to "tens" or "tenths" depending on the context. It is derived from the word "kymmenen," meaning "ten." When used in the plural form, "kymmenet," it generally refers to multiple sets of ten or to numbers in the range of twenty to ninety. For instance, "kymmenet ihmiset" would mean "tens of people." The word can also appear in genitive plural, "kymmenien," which would translate to "of tens."

In a numerical context, "kymmenensiin" can refer to ordinal numbers indicating a position in a series, specifically the tenth position or any position within the tens. For example, "kymmenensiin vuosiin" means "into the tens of years," implying decades. It is important to distinguish between "kymmenet" (tens) and "kymmenen" (ten) as their grammatical function and meaning differ. The word is a common element in Finnish vocabulary, particularly when discussing quantities, ages, or time spans that involve multiples of ten.
