Diskontattujen

Diskontattujen is a Finnish term that serves as the genitive plural form of the participle diskontattu, meaning discounted. In Finnish, diskontattu functions as an adjective describing a noun that has had its price reduced. The form diskontattujen is used when the described noun is in a genitive relationship or when forming a noun phrase that expresses possession or attribution to a group of items.

Usage and meaning

Diskontattujen appears primarily in retail, catalog, and marketing language, where it describes multiple discounted items or categories. It is not a standalone noun; it requires a following noun in a phrase such as tuotteiden (products), hintojen (prices), or tavaroiden (goods). Examples include diskontattujen tuotteiden hinnat (the prices of discounted products) and diskontattujen tavaroiden myynti (the sale of discounted goods). The word highlights that the items have undergone a price reduction and are being referenced in a plural, possessive, or descriptive context.

Etymology and morphology

Diskontattujen derives from diskontattu, a Finnish participle formed from the verb diskontata, itself borrowed from English discount. The suffixes reflect Finnish inflection: diskontattu becomes diskontattuja in various cases, and diskontattujen specifically marks the genitive plural. This form enables precise grammatical construction when discussing groups of discounted items.

Note

As with other Finnish participles used as adjectives, diskontattujen agrees in case and number with the noun it modifies. It cannot stand alone and must appear as part of a noun phrase describing discounted items.
