Neulojen

Neulojen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun neula, meaning needles. In Finnish grammar, neulojen is used to indicate possession or a relationship between needles and another noun, such as in phrases referring to parts, characteristics, or activities connected to needles. For example, neulojen terät means the blades or tips of the needles, and neulojen valmistajat means the manufacturers of needles.

Morphology and usage notes: The nominative plural of neula is neulat, while the genitive plural is neulojen. The genitive form is used when describing a relationship to multiple needles, and it commonly appears in compound phrases or attributive constructions. Like other genitive plurals in Finnish, neulojen is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form that accompanies a head noun in the genitive.

Context and related terms: Neulojen appears in technical, educational, or craft-related texts, especially in discussions of knitting, sewing, or tool sets.
