asiakkaiden

Asiakkaiden is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the genitive plural of the noun asiakas, which means customer. It expresses possession or association and translates as “of customers” or “the customers’.” In Finnish, the genitive plural is formed with the suffix -iden, so from the base word asiakkaas you get asiakkaiden.

Common uses include phrases where one noun modifies another to indicate ownership or relation. For example, asiakkaiden palaute means the customers’ feedback, and asiakkaiden mielipiteet means the customers’ opinions. The construction is typical in business, marketing, and service contexts when describing aspects related to customers.

Compared to the nominative plural asiakkaat (customers), the genitive plural asiakkaiden serves a different grammatical role: it marks what belongs to or concerns the customers rather than naming the group itself. The genitive singular form of asiakkaat is asiakkaan (the customer’s), and the other inflected forms follow regular Finnish patterns.
