yhtäaikaisten

Yhtäaikaisten is a Finnish word that translates to "simultaneous" or "concurrent" in English. It describes events, actions, or states that occur at the same time. The word is derived from the Finnish words "yhtä" meaning "one" or "together" and "aika" meaning "time". Therefore, "yhtäaikaisten" literally suggests something that happens as one, in terms of time.

In various contexts, yhtäaikaisten can refer to multiple occurrences happening in parallel. For example, in computing, yhtäaikaisten prosessien suorittaminen (execution of simultaneous processes) refers to the ability of a system to handle multiple tasks at the same moment. In physics, yhtäaikaisten tapahtumien havaitseminen (observation of simultaneous events) is crucial for understanding cause and effect. In everyday language, it can describe people doing things together at the same time, such as syödä yhtäaikaista (eating simultaneously). The concept of simultaneity is fundamental across many fields, and the Finnish word yhtäaikaisten effectively captures this idea.
