vauvojen

Vauvojen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun vauva, meaning “baby.” It marks possession or association, and is used in phrases referring to something relating to babies. For example, vauvojen vaatteet means “the babies’ clothes,” and vauvojen kehitys means “the babies’ development.”

In Finnish, the genitive plural is formed by adding a suffix to the base word; for vauva the result is vauvojen. The form appears as part of a noun phrase, typically modifying another noun to show ownership or relation. By itself, vauvojen does not convey a complete idea without a following noun.

Common related forms include vauva (singular nominative: the baby), vauvan (genitive singular: the baby’s), vauvat (nominative plural: the babies), and vauvojen (genitive plural: the babies’). The word is widely used in contexts involving infancy, childcare, health, and parenting, in both spoken and written Finnish.

Notes on usage: vauvojen is not used to stand alone; it functions within a larger noun phrase. It often appears in discussions of products, services, or topics geared toward infants, such as clothing, care practices, development milestones, and safety considerations. When translating, it corresponds to phrases like “the babies’ …” in English, depending on the noun it modifies. The base noun remains vauva, while vauvojen supplies the possessive plural meaning.
