Myyjien

Myyjien is a Finnish noun form that represents the genitive plural of the noun myyjä, meaning seller or vendor. It denotes possession, relation, or association with sellers, and is used to refer to something belonging to or involving multiple sellers. For example, in a sentence like Kaupan myyjien neuvotellut sopimus, the phrase conveys “the contract negotiated by the sellers.”

Etymology and grammar: Myyjä comes from the root related to selling and buying (myynti is sale). The genitive plural form, myyjien, is used to express “of the sellers” or “the sellers’.” The nominative plural is myyjät (sellers), and the genitive singular is myyjän (the seller’s). Finnish inflection often marks relationships with suffixes in the genitive plural, of which -ien is a common ending for many -jä nouns like myyjä.

Usage: Myyjien appears in contexts involving groups of sellers or ownership by sellers. It is typically not the subject of a sentence but functions to modify another noun or to indicate possession. Examples include myyjien kilpailu (competition among sellers), myyjien etu (the sellers’ interest), or sopimus myyjien kanssa (a contract with the sellers). It can also be used in descriptive phrases such as markkina-alueen myyjien taidot, referring to the skills of the sellers in a market area.

Related forms: Other related forms of the same word include myyjä (singular), myyjän (genitive singular), myyjät (nominative plural), and myyjiä (partitive plural). These forms help distinguish possession, quantity, and object or participant reference within Finnish grammar.
