Hintaa

Hintaa is a Finnish noun, the partitive singular form of hinta, meaning price. It is used when the price is described as an indefinite quantity or when the price is the object of a verb. In everyday language, hintaa often appears in negations and in phrases that specify a price range, such as 20–30 euron hintaa.

Examples of usage include: "En tiedä hintaa" (I don’t know the price) and "Päivittäistavaroiden hintaa seurataan tarkasti" (The price of everyday goods is monitored closely). In advertising and retail, hintaa is common in statements about how much something costs or in forecasts and reports about price changes. The collocation "20–30 euron hintaa" is frequently used to express a price range in euros.

Grammatical notes: Hintaa is one of several forms derived from hinta. The base noun hinta is declined in cases such as hinnan (genitive) and hintaa (partitive). When discussing currency, prices are typically contextualized with numerals and currency units, for example euron hintaa, to indicate the amount in question. Hintaa therefore functions as a flexible, neutral way to refer to price in a wide range of transactional and descriptive contexts.

Related terms include hinta (price) and hintalappu (price tag). The word is a standard part of Finnish economic and consumer language, used across media, commerce, and everyday conversation.
