rivejä

Rivejä is the partitive plural form of the Finnish noun rivi, meaning a row, line, or sequence. The term is used whenever multiple rows or lines are discussed, such as lines of text, rows of seats in a cinema, or rows of items in a spreadsheet. In addition to its literal sense, rivi can denote a line of poetry or a single line in a list; rivejä can thus refer to several such lines when the reference is indefinite or partial.

Morphology: The base noun is rivi. Its forms include rivit (nominative plural), rivien (genitive plural), and rivejä (partitive plural). The partitive form rivejä is used after numerals or quantities (useita rivejä, paljon rivejä) and can function as the object of a verb (for example, Käyttäjä lisäsi rivejä lomakkeeseen).

Usage notes: In everyday Finnish, rivejä often co-occurs with plural determiners to indicate countable rows. For example: "Taulukossa on useita rivejä" (The table has several rows); "Poemissa on useita rivejä" (The poems have several lines). The term is neutral and widely used across domains such as education, publishing, and data presentation.
