lujaa

Lujaa is the partitive singular form of the Finnish adjective luja, which means strong, sturdy, or resilient. In Finnish, luja describes a noun, and lujaa is used when the adjective modifies a noun in the partitive case or appears in constructions that express intensity, speed, or effort.

Common usage includes phrases that convey how an action is performed or the degree of force involved. For example, ajaa lujaa means to drive fast or with great speed, and antaa lujaa vastustusta means to give strong resistance. Lujaa can also appear in phrases like lujaa voimaa, meaning a great amount of power or strength. The nuance conveyed depends on the surrounding context, with lujaa generally emphasizing intensity or force rather than a simple attribute.

In practice, lujaa is most frequently heard in spoken Finnish, sports reporting, and informal discourse. It lends immediacy and emphasis to descriptions of action, effort, or impact. In formal writing, speakers may choose more neutral expressions to avoid overly colloquial nuance, but lujaa remains a recognizable and established form in the language.

There is no separate entry or widely recognized meaning of lujaa outside its role as a grammatical form of luja. If encountered as a brand, title, or stylistic usage, it would be a proper-noun choice rather than a dictionary sense of the word.
