From Proto-Finnic *aika, possibly borrowed from Proto-Germanic (see the Proto-Finnic entry for more).
==== Noun ====
aika
time (inevitable progression into the future with the passing of present and past events)
time, period (temporal distance or duration)
Se vaatii pitkän ajan. ― It takes a long time.

===== Declension =====
Note that the -k- is lost in the weak grade, which causes the preceding -i- to turn into a -j-, an irregular change (but shared with poika). By comparison, the word taika does not exhibit this change.
