massojen

Massojen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun massa. The base meaning encompasses mass, bulk, or a large crowd, and it can refer to either physical mass in scientific contexts or to a large group of people, commonly described as the masses. The genitive plural massojen is used to indicate possession or relation to the masses, for example in phrases like massojen liike (the movement of the masses) or massojen vaikutus (the influence of the masses).

Etymology and usage notes: the Finnish massa derives from a long linguistic line that includes Latin massa and related European forms; in Finnic languages it has cognates such as Swedish massa. In modern Finnish, massan (genitive singular) and massat (nominative plural) are the other basic forms, while massojen marks possession or association in the plural. The term appears across disciplines, from physics and engineering to sociology and political science, often in formal or analytical writing.

Examples and context: massojen liike describes collective motion or mobilization of large groups, while massojen vaikutus refers to how the general public or a crowd can influence outcomes or opinions. The word is not colloquial in everyday speech; it tends to occur in academic, policy, or media contexts when discussing crowds, public opinion, or physical properties of matter.
