Jäät is a Finnish word that translates to "ice" in English. It is a common term used in everyday language and also in scientific contexts related to meteorology and glaciology. The pronunciation of "jäät" can be broken down into two syllables. The first syllable, "jä," is similar to the "ja" sound in "jar" but with a slightly more open mouth and a distinct "y" glide at the beginning. The second syllable, "ät," sounds very much like the English word "at." Therefore, when combined, it is pronounced roughly as "yah-at," with the emphasis on the first syllable.

The word "jäät" is a versatile term in Finnish. It can refer to various forms of ice, such as frozen water on lakes and rivers, hail, or ice formed on surfaces. For instance, one might say "järvi on jäätä" which means "the lake is ice." In more technical discussions, it can be used to describe sea ice or glacial ice. The context usually clarifies the specific type of ice being referred to. Understanding the pronunciation is key to comprehending its usage in spoken Finnish.
