Treenejä

Treenejä is the plural partitive form of treeni, a Finnish noun meaning training, workout, or practice session. The term is used to refer to individual workouts or scheduled practice sessions in sports, fitness, and other activities that involve skill development. It is a common, informal word in everyday Finnish; more formal equivalents include harjoitus or harjoittelukerta.

In practice, treenejä is often used with numbers in the partitive singular form, for example kolmetreeniä viikossa. A more general or indefinite reference uses treenejä in the plural partitive, as in viikossa kertyy useita treenejä. The word can describe both physical workouts at a gym and organized team practices, as well as practice sessions for skills such as music or theater.

Variants and related terms include treeni as the singular form, and trenni as a colloquial variant used by some speakers. The formal synonyms, depending on context, are harjoitus or harjoittelu. The plural form treenit is used when the noun is in the nominative plural as the subject of a sentence, while treenejä can appear as the object or in other sentence roles where a partitive plural is required.
