• (month): kuu is used for "month" when a calendar month is referred to without naming it, e.g. viime kuussa (“last month”), ensi kuun aikana (“within next month”). The word kuukausi is more commonly used for a month as a unit of time, but kuu can in some cases be used in that sense as well: kahden kuukauden loma (“a two months' vacation”), viisikuinen vauva (“a baby of five months”).
