äänneyhdistelmiä
Äänneyhdistelmät, or sound combinations, refer to the way individual speech sounds, known as phonemes, are joined together to form spoken words.

These rules can vary significantly between languages, explaining why certain sound clusters that are common in one language might be impossible or sound foreign in another.
For example, in Finnish, a language with relatively simple phonotactics, consonant clusters are generally limited. Certain
The study of äänneyhdistelmiä is crucial for understanding phonology, the sound system of a language. It helps
