puhelinsoitto

Puhelinsoitto is a Finnish term that refers to a telephone call or the act of calling someone by phone. The word is a compound of puhelin (telephone) and soitto (calling or ringing) and is commonly used to describe a call made via a telephone network or mobile network.

In everyday language, puhelinsoitto can denote a single call, the event of receiving a call, or the act of dialing another party. Common expressions include ottaa puhelinsoitto (to take a phone call) and saada puhelinsoitto (to receive a phone call). The term is sometimes used to emphasize the telephone medium or the ringing aspect of the communication, in contrast to puhelu, which can be a more general term for a call.

In professional and technical contexts, puhelinsoitto is used in relation to telecommunications, customer service, and call management. It appears in descriptions of outbound or inbound calling, call-center operations, and scheduling of telephone outreach. The concept covers both traditional voice calls and calls facilitated by modern mobile networks and VoIP services.

Overall, puhelinsoitto remains a common, neutral term in Finnish for referring to telephone calls and the accompanying act of contacting someone by phone. See also puhelu, soitto, puhelin.
