What does the Finnish word ikuisuutta mean?
Ikuisuutta is a conjugation of the word ikuisuus. Ikuisuus means eternity. Ikuisuutta is a conjugation that is used in some contexts. The post suffix -tta especially denotes something to be an object for an action, but it can also denote that your action involves the whole object. So ikuisuutta either means eternity (as an object in your sentence) or then it literally means the whole eternity.
As an example, "I don't want to wait an eternity" would be "En halua odottaa ikuisuutta".
In this case it actually literally means that you don't want to wait the whole eternity in Finnish, though the intended meaning is different from the literal one.
