pieneistä

pieneistä is a Finnish word that translates to "small" or "little" in English. It is the genitive plural form of the adjective "pieni". This grammatical form is used when referring to multiple small things in a context that requires the genitive case, such as possession or when an action is directed towards them. For example, in the phrase "paljon pieneistä asioita" (many small things), "pieneistä" is in the genitive plural.

The word "pieni" itself is a fundamental adjective in Finnish, used to describe size, quantity, or importance. Its various inflected forms, including "pieneistä," are essential for constructing grammatically correct Finnish sentences. Understanding these inflections is key for anyone learning the language. The concept of smallness is universal, and Finnish, like many languages, has a dedicated term to express it. The specific usage of "pieneistä" highlights the agglutinative nature of the Finnish language, where suffixes are added to a base word to convey grammatical information.
