tunniseid

Tunniseid is a Finnish term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily within the context of timekeeping and measurements. Most commonly, "tunniseid" translates to "hourly" or "of the hour." This can be used to describe something that occurs at regular intervals of an hour, such as an hourly train service or an hourly wage.

In a broader sense, "tunniseid" can also imply a duration of an hour. For example, if someone says a task took "tunniseid aega," it means it took an hour to complete. The precise meaning often depends on the surrounding words and the context of the conversation.

Beyond its literal translation related to time, "tunniseid" can sometimes be used metaphorically to convey a sense of regularity or a specific, somewhat fixed, time frame. However, its primary and most frequent usage remains directly tied to the concept of an hour. It is a common and integral part of the Finnish language when discussing schedules, work, or the passage of time.
