pisaroita

Pisaroita is a Finnish noun form meaning several small drops of liquid. It is the partitive plural of the word pisara (drop) and is used to indicate an indefinite or partial amount of droplets. The form is common in everyday language when the exact number of drops is not specified or when describing small amounts of liquid.

In usage, pisaroita often appears after numerals or quantifiers, for example pari pisaroita (a couple of drops) or useita pisaroita (several drops). It also functions as the object of verbs and predicates related to dripping, rain, dew, or moisture, where the exact count is not stated. Typical contexts include descriptions of weather, moisture on surfaces, or small, scattered droplets on objects.

Examples of usage include: Kastepisaroita peitti lehden. Sateen jälkeen ikkunaan tuli pisaroita. Pari pisaroita putosi lattialle. These examples illustrate how pisaroita conveys a non-specific, small quantity of droplets in different sentence structures.

Etymology and form: pisaroita is formed from the noun pisara with the standard Finnish partitive suffix -ta in the plural, a regular pattern for many countable nouns when expressed in a non-specific quantity. The word is primarily used in descriptive or narrative contexts and is common in both everyday speech and written Finnish.
