leijuvien

Leijuvien is a grammatical form in Finnish. It functions as the genitive plural of the adjective leijuva, which means hovering or floating. Leijuva is formed from the verb leijua, meaning to hover or float, with the present participle suffix -va. The genitive plural leijuvien (often written interchangeably as leijuvien) is used to describe nouns that are associated with multiple hovering or floating objects or phenomena.

In usage, leijuva and its inflected forms are common in descriptive or scientific writing when characterizing physical processes, phenomena, or objects that remain suspended without contact with a surface. For example, leijuvien hiukkasten liike can be translated as “the motion of hovering particles.” The construction typically pairs the genitive plural with a following noun in the appropriate case, such as hiukkasten (particles) in genitive plural.

Etymology and grammar notes: leijuva comes from leijua, and the participial suffix -va forms adjectives describing a characteristic. The genitive plural ending -vien marks possession or association with several hovering things. The form is part of standard Finnish adjective inflection and can appear in a range of contexts from scientific descriptions to poetic imagery.
