asiakkaita

Asiakkaita is the plural partitive form of the Finnish noun asiakas, meaning customers or clients. It is used when referring to an indefinite or non-specific amount of customers, or when the object of an action is not treated as a definite, complete unit. The nominative plural is asiakkaat, and the singular partitive is asiakasta, while the plural partitive form is asiakkaita.

In Finnish grammar, the partitive plural serves several roles: it marks non-finite or partial quantity, it appears after certain verbs and in constructions expressing existence or abundance, and it is commonly used with phrases describing a larger, non-countable set of individuals. The form asiakkaita often appears in sentences about generalities, ongoing activities, or proportions of a customer base. It contrasts with the subject form asiakkaat and with the singular form asiakasta used in countable, individual references.

Common contexts for asiakkaita include business and service language, where the term refers to the customer base or clientele. Examples: Meillä on paljon asiakkaita. (We have many customers.) Yritys palvelee asiakkaita joka päivä. (The company serves customers every day.) Asiakkaita koskevat tiedot ovat luottamuksellisia. (Customer-related information is confidential.) The word can also appear in marketing, sales reports, and customer-service discussions to denote plural, non-specific customers rather than a fixed set of individuals.
