Asemiä

Asemiä is the partitive plural form of the Finnish noun asema, which translates to station, stop, or base. It is used when referring to an unspecified quantity of stations or bases in a sentence that requires the partitive case. The form is typical in contexts such as when a speaker discusses several stations without specifying a definite number, or in negative clauses where the object is not fully described.

Grammar: In Finnish, asema is a common noun. Its nominative plural is asemat, and its genitive plural is asemien. The partitive plural, asemiä, appears in sentences where the object is indefinite or part of a larger set, often following quantifiers such as useita, paljon, or monia. The pronunciation places stress on the first syllable, as with most Finnish nouns.

Usage: Asemiä commonly occurs in transportation planning, travel writing, and geographic descriptions. It can refer to railway stations, bus stops, or bases in a strategic sense (military or historical). The form helps distinguish the object as an indefinite portion of a larger group rather than a defined, countable set.
