vauhti

== Finnish == === Etymology === Possibly derived from onomatopoeic vauh, a wooshing sound. Related to Karelian vauhti and Votic vauhti. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈʋɑu̯hti/, [ˈʋɑ̝u̯ht̪i] Rhymes: -ɑuhti Syllabification(key): vauh‧ti Hyphenation(key): vauh‧ti === Noun === vauhti speed, velocity, pace (see usage notes) kova vauhti ― high speed hypätä kyydistä vauhdissa ― to jump out of a moving vehicle (not technical) momentum Synonym: liikemäärä (in physics) ottaa vauhtia ― to take a running start, take a run-up; to run to pick up speed (physics) speed (magnitude of the velocity) (slang) speed (slang term for methamphetamine) ==== Usage notes ==== In everyday language, the words vauhti and nopeus are synonyms (as is the case with the English equivalents speed and velocity). In scientific use, they have however been redefined (as happened in English) to refer to the scalar and vector aspects of motion, respectively. So in science, vauhti only refers to a movement's magnitude (speed), whereas nopeus also includes information about a movement's direction. In everyday language, vauhti is also used to refer to momentum. ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === Further reading === “vauhti”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 4 July 2023 === Anagrams === huvita == Ingrian == === Etymology === Related to Finnish vauhti. === Pronunciation === (Ala-Laukaa) IPA(key): /ˈʋɑu̯hti/, [ˈʋɑu̯htʲ] (Soikkola) IPA(key): /ˈʋɑu̯hti/, [ˈʋɑu̯hti] Rhymes: -ɑu̯htʲ, -ɑu̯hti Hyphenation: vauh‧ti === Noun === vauhti speed, velocity ==== Declension ==== === References === Ruben E.
