stadionin

Stadionin is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun stadion, meaning stadium. It denotes possession or association and translates as "the stadium's" or "of the stadium." In Finnish, possession is shown by word endings rather than separate possessive pronouns, so stadionin appears in phrases like stadionin katsomo (the stadium's stands) or stadionin kapasiteetti (the stadium's capacity).

Etymology: The Finnish word stadion is a loanword from the international term for a sports arena. It stems from Latin stadion, via Greek stadion, and has been adopted into Finnish through common European usage, with the genitive suffix -in forming stadionin.

Usage: The form stadionin is used to create compound nouns and noun phrases that describe features or attributes related to a specific stadium. Common collocations include stadionin rakennus (the stadium’s building), stadionin ympäristö (the stadium’s surroundings), stadionin kapasiteetti (the stadium’s capacity), and stadionin valvonta (the stadium’s security).

Notes: As a grammatical form, stadionin carries no independent meaning beyond indicating possession or association. Its usage is restricted to contexts where the speaker references a particular stadium and attributes or components linked to it. In everyday Finnish, the base word stadion may appear in other cases with different endings to fit the sentence structure.
