area, region (any considerable and connected part of a space or surface) · region, area (regional subdivisions) · oblast (regional administrative unit in Russia)
çekim: çoğul alueet · tamlayan alueen
köken: From Proto-Finnic *alovëh. Equivalent to ala (“area”) + -ue. First attested in 1829 in an edition of the newspaper Oulun Wiikko-Sanomia. According to SSA, the form alue may have been adopted in the standard language as a result of Karelian influence (Karelian aloveh), being native only in the 'easternmost' of dialects; the Tavastian dialectal word aloo is probably related, however.
