pienempikokoisia

Pienempikokoisia is a Finnish adjective form used to describe items that are smaller in size than the standard or reference. It is the plural partitive form of the compound adjective pienempikokoinen, which blends pienempi (smaller) and kokoinen (size or sized). The form pienempikokoisia is typically used with plural nouns in the partitive case, for example pienempikokoisia vaatteita (smaller-sized clothes) or pienempikokoisia sukkia (smaller-sized socks). The partitive plural arises when the object is indefinite or part of a larger set, such as a catalog listing or a shopping selection.

In retail and consumer information, pienempikokoisia signals a size variant available within a product line, often contrasted with standard or larger sizes (isompikokoisia or suurempikokoisia). The term is common in catalogs, product descriptions, and marketing material, where clear communication about size options is important. While it primarily appears in shopping contexts, it can also be used in everyday language to compare sizes between multiple items.

Morphologically, pienempikokoisia demonstrates Finnish compounding and inflection: pienempi from pieni (small) combined with kokoinen (sized), forming pienempikokoinen, whose plural partitive form is pienempikokoisia. The construction reflects how Finnish expresses comparative size and attribute adjectives in relation to count nouns.
