objektiä

Objektiä is the partitive singular form of the Finnish noun objekti, meaning "object." The word objekti is a modern loanword borrowed from Latin objectum via Swedish objekt and other languages. In Finnish, objekti refers to an entity that is acted upon by a verb, i.e., the direct object in a clause. The form objektiä is used in the partitive case, typically when the object is indefinite, partial, or described in negation. The plural form in the partitive is objekkteja.

In linguistics, objekti denotes the syntactic object; in philosophy and cognitive science, it refers to an entity under consideration; in computing, it names data objects; in everyday language, it can mean a physical item, component, or abstract concept.

Finnish marks the object with cases rather than fixed word order; the choice of partitive vs other cases depends on aspect, definiteness, and negation. Objektiä thus serves as a convenient label for a thing within a clause, while its form changes with vowel harmony and number.
