Vaatinneet

Vaatinneet is a Finnish word that translates to "demanded" or "claimed" in English. It is the past tense plural form of the verb "vaatia," meaning "to demand" or "to require." The word is used to describe a situation where multiple individuals or entities have expressed a strong need or entitlement to something. For example, if a group of people felt they were owed compensation, they might have vaatinneet that compensation.
