turbiinin

Turbiinin is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun turbiini, meaning turbine. It expresses possession or a close association and translates roughly as “of the turbine” or “the turbine’s” in English. The word turbiini is used in technical, engineering, and everyday language to refer to devices that convert fluid or gas energy into mechanical work.

Turbiini is a loanword from English turbine, adapted to Finnish spelling and pronunciation. The genitive singular is formed by adding the suffix -n to the stem, yielding turbiinin. This form appears in contexts such as describing attributes, parts, or relationships related to a turbine, for example in phrases like turbiinin teho (the turbine’s power) or turbiinin osat (the turbine’s components). In Finnish, turbiinin can modify another noun directly or appear as a dependent element within a noun phrase.

In usage, turbiinin often occurs within technical documentation, maintenance manuals, and energy sector discourse, where precise ownership or association with a turbine is relevant. As with other genitive constructions in Finnish, turbiinin helps link terms to specific equipment, systems, or subsystems, clarifying responsibility, function, or provenance. The term is typically encountered in contexts involving machinery, power generation, and related engineering topics.
