pyynnön

Pyynnön is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun pyyntö, meaning a request, appeal, or demand. It is used to express a relationship of belonging or association in noun phrases, for example: pyynnön esittäminen (the presentation of the request), pyynnön käsittely (the processing of the request), or pyynnön tekijä (the person who made the request).

In Finnish, genitive forms are used to link nouns within compound expressions. The nominative form of the word is pyyntö, while pyynnön marks that the current noun phrase relates to a particular request. Common constructions include pyynnön jättäminen (the submission of the request), pyynnön sisältö (the content of the request), and pyynnön kohde (the target of the request).

Origin and related terms: pyyntö derives from the verb pyytää, to ask or request. The word structure mirrors typical Finnish noun formation: a root related to asking is combined with noun-forming suffixes to form pyyntö, and the genitive takes the form pyynnön.

Usage and tone: In formal Finnish, especially administrative or legal language, pyynnön is frequently encountered in official documents, service requests, and correspondence. The phrases pyynnön hyväksyminen (the approval of the request) and pyynnön hylkääminen (the rejection of the request) are common. The form is not used as an independent verb; it functions as a noun within larger noun phrases.
