lippujen

Lippujen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun lippu, a word with two primary meanings in Finnish: a ticket for admission to an event and a flag or banner. In the genitive plural lippujen, the noun is used to express possession, association, or description of multiple items. This form appears in many everyday and formal contexts, including event planning, commerce, and administrative language.

In use, lippujen indicates “of tickets” or “tickets’,” and it is common in phrases that describe quantities or characteristics related to tickets or, in flag-related contexts, to flags. Examples include lippujen hinnat (the prices of tickets), lippujen määrä (the quantity of tickets), and lippujen väri (the color of the flags). The same form also appears in phrases referring to flags, such as lippujen kunto (the condition of the flags) or lippujen ikä (the age of the flags), depending on context.

Forming and grammar notes: lippu → liput (nominative plural) and lippujen (genitive plural). The genitive plural suffix -en is characteristic of many Finnish nouns and signals possession or association in complex noun phrases. When used with numerals or other determiners, lippujen serves to link the head noun to the possessed or described noun.
