Pyyntöjen

Pyyntöjen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun pyyntö, which means a request, appeal, or demand. The form is used to indicate “of the requests” or to relate a noun to the concept of requests in a sentence.

Pyyntö means a request—an act of asking someone to do something, provide information, grant access, or make a concession. It is used in everyday language as well as in formal and administrative contexts.

Usage: The genitive plural pyyntöjen is commonly found in noun phrases that describe the relationship to requests. Examples include pyyntöjen käsittely (processing of requests), pyyntöjen määrä (number of requests), and pyyntöjen täyttäminen (fulfillment of requests). The construction is frequent in customer service, project management, and bureaucratic or legal texts.

Grammar notes: In Finnish, pyyntöjä is the partitive plural, pyynnöt is the nominative plural, and pyyntöjen is the genitive plural. An example sentence is: Pyyntöjen hallinta parantaa asiakaspalvelua. This illustrates how the genitive plural is used to connect the concept of requests to another noun.

Etymology: The noun pyyntö is derived from the verb pyytää, meaning to request or to ask. The word and its inflected forms are standard in both informal and formal Finnish, reflecting a core communicative act of seeking information, permission, or action.
