piippujen

Piippujen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun piippu, which means chimney or smokestack and, in some contexts, pipe or duct. Piippu is a native Finnish word, and its exact historical origin is uncertain; it is cognate with related Finnic terms describing pipe-like or smoke-outlet structures.

Grammatical notes: In Finnish, piippu has several plural forms: nominative piiput (chimneys), genitive plural piippujen (of chimneys), and partitive plural piippuja (chimneys in the object or partial sense). Piippujen is used to indicate possession or association with multiple chimneys or pipes. For example, “Talon piippujen kunto” means the condition of the house’s chimneys, and “piippujen korjaus” refers to the repair of the chimneys.

Usage: Piippujen appears in contexts relating to architecture, construction, urban planning, and building maintenance. It is common in technical reports, inspections, and discussions about heating systems or industrial exhaust outlets. The term can also appear in historical descriptions of older buildings or factories where multiple chimneys are present.
