===Etymology===
From {{inh|fi|urj-fin-pro|*utu}}, probably borrowed from {{der|fi|gem-pro|<!-- *ūdan- -->}} (compare {{cog|is|úði||drizzle}}).<ref>{{R:fi:EVE|utu|accessdate=2024-01-01}}</ref>

===Pronunciation===
{{fi-pronunciation}}

===Noun===
{{fi-noun}}

# [[haze]], [[mist]] {{gloss|of water vapor}}

====Usage notes====
* The words {{m|fi||sumu}}, {{m|fi|usva}} and {{m|fi|utu}} all describe "water vapor lightly suspended near the ground", but &ndash; strictly speaking &ndash; at different degrees. However, they may often be used synonymously with no discretion.
** {{m|fi||Utu}} describes very light vapor near the ground, especially that occurring in the morning and therefore it is translated usually as "[[mist]]" or "[[haze]]".
** {{m|fi||Usva}} describes a bit thicker vapor than {{m|fi||utu}} near the ground, especially when considering the water travelling conditions. Therefore, it is translated usually as "[[mist]]", "[[haze]]" or "[[fog]]".
** {{m|fi||Sumu}} describes very thick vapor obscuring the visibility near the ground and thus, it is translated usually as "[[mist]]" or "[[fog]]".
* {{m|fi||utu}} is used for haze caused by water vapor - if the haze is caused by something else, it is called {{m|fi|auer}}.
