tallennusformaatin

Tallennusformaatin is a Finnish noun form, specifically the genitive singular of tallennusformaatti, which means recording or storage format. The base tallennusformaatti is a compound of tallennus (recording) and formaatti (format), a typical construction in Finnish for technical terms. The genitive suffix -in marks possession or a relation, so tallennusformaatin translates roughly to “of the recording format” or “the recording format’s.”

The term is commonly used in technical and documentation contexts to refer to the particular format used to encode and store data, such as audio, video, images, or other media. It is often employed when discussing properties of the format, including compatibility, quality, compression, metadata support, or archival suitability. In Finnish prose, you may encounter phrases like tallennusformaatin valinta (the choice of recording format), tallennusformaatin tekniset tiedot (the technical details of the recording format), or tallennusformaatin yhteensopivuus (the compatibility of the recording format).

In practice, tallennusformaatin usage follows general Finnish grammar for genitive constructions. The plural genitive would be tallennusformaatien (of the recording formats). The term is a standard part of technical vocabulary in environments dealing with digital media, data management, and information technology, where precise reference to a specific format is important for interoperability and documentation.
