Viereistä

Viereistä is the partitive singular form of the Finnish adjective viereinen, meaning neighboring or adjacent. In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify in case and number, and viereistä is used when the noun is in the partitive case. The form is most common in phrases describing an unspecified or non-specified quantity of nearby objects.

Usage and examples

- viereistä taloa means “a neighboring house” (neighboring house in partitive).

- viereisiä taloja means “neighboring houses” (neighboring houses in partitive plural).

Relation to other forms

Viereinen is a standard -nen adjective, so it inflects across cases and numbers. The nominative singular is viereinen, the nominative plural viereiset; the genitive singular viereisen, genitive plural viereisten; the partitive plural form is viereisiä. These forms are used according to the noun they modify and the syntactic role in the sentence.
