visiirin

Visiirin is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun visiiri, which means visor. In Finnish, the genitive marks possession or a close relation, and visiirin is used to indicate that something belongs to or relates to a visor. For example, "visiirin väri" means the visor's color, and "visiirin hinta" means the visor's price.

Etymology and form: The base word visiiri is a loanword in Finnish, with likely origins in Swedish visir or a related Germanic source; the exact etymology is not universally settled. The genitive singular is formed by adding the suffix -n to visiiri, a common pattern for Finnish nouns.

Usage: The genitive visiirin is used in noun phrases to express possession or association with a visor. Examples include "kypärän visiirin koko" (the size of the helmet visor) or "visiirin väri" (the visor's color). In general, visiirin functions as the possessed noun within such constructions, while the possessor is often another noun in genitive or a possessive construction.

Related forms: The base noun is visiiri; the plural/genitive form for multiple visors is visiirien. Finnish compounds often join visiiri with other nouns to form terms describing different aspects of visors or protective facial gear.
