sadonkorjuuta

Sadonkorjuuta is a Finnish term that refers to the harvest period or the act of harvesting crops. It can denote both the process of gathering crops and the season during which harvesting takes place, typically in late summer and autumn, depending on local climate and crop types. The term is used in everyday language, farm records, and literary contexts.

Historically, sadonkorjuuta has been central to agrarian life in Finland, when communities coordinated field work and celebrated the completion of the year's main agricultural task. Grammatically, the word is built from sato (yield, crop) and korjuu (harvesting), with the suffix -ta producing the partitive form 'sadonkorjuuta', which is used when the harvest is treated as a process or an object in a sentence. The base noun for the harvest is sadonkorjuu.

In literature and historical writing, sadonkorjuuta often evokes late-summer or early-autumn imagery, labor, cooperation, and the return on agricultural effort. In modern Finnish, the term may appear in more formal or poetic contexts, while everyday speech more commonly uses generic references to harvest time or seasons.
