Viivoja

Viivoja is the partitive plural form of the Finnish noun viiva, meaning line, stroke, or grid line. It denotes an unspecified quantity of lines and is used when the exact number is unknown or not important. The corresponding forms are viiva (line), viivat (nominative plural), and viivaa (partitive singular).

In Finnish grammar, viivoja appears with verbs and constructions that require the partitive case, such as piirtää viivoja (to draw lines) or kuvassa on useita viivoja (the image contains several lines). It is common in descriptions of drawings, diagrams, charts, layouts, and other graphical contexts where lines are mentioned without specifying a definite count.

Examples of usage include:

- Piirrä viivoja paperille. (Draw lines on the paper.)

- Kuvassa on useita viivoja. (The image has several lines.)

- Tämä kartta sisältää ohjeelliset viivat. (This map includes guideline lines.)

Notes:

Viivoja functions as a grammatical form rather than a separate concept. Its primary role is to express an indefinite quantity of lines within Finnish sentences.
