puhujien

Puhujien is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun puhujka? The correct noun is puhuj a, meaning speaker. Puhujien thus translates to “of the speakers” or “the speakers’.” It is used to show possession or association with multiple speakers, for example in phrases like puhuji en nimet (the names of the speakers) or puhuj ien mielipiteet (the speakers’ opinions).

The word puhujan is the genitive singular form, while puhujat is the nominative plural, and puhujien is the genitive plural. The base noun puhuja is derived from the verb puhua, meaning “to speak,” with the agent noun suffix -ja, giving a term for someone who speaks or gives a speech.

In usage, puhujien appears in formal and descriptive contexts such as conference programs, meeting minutes, academic writing, and journalism. It commonly appears in constructs that attribute attributes, actions, or possessions to a group of speakers, for example: “puhujien esitykset” (the speakers’ presentations) or “puhujien kommentit tilaisuudessa” (the speakers’ comments at the event).

Related terms include puhujan (genitive singular of puhuja) and puhujat (speakers). The word is part of standard Finnish morphology and does not function as a standalone verb or particle; its role is syntactic, indicating possession or association with multiple speakers.
