tyytymättömiä

Tytymättömiä is a Finnish adjective form meaning “dissatisfied.” It is the plural partitive form used to describe an unspecified or partially quantified group of people or things that are not satisfied. In Finnish, the partitive plural is often used when the exact number is not stated or when the predicate involves a non-fully-countable amount.

Usage and examples

Tytymättömiä is most common in contexts such as consumer feedback, politics, or social analysis. It is frequently used with nouns in the partitive case, for example: “useita tyytymättömiä vastauksia,” meaning several dissatisfied responses; “tyytymättömiä asiakkaita,” meaning dissatisfied customers; or “tyytymättömiä äänestäjiä,” meaning dissatisfied voters. The form can also appear in journalistic or research descriptions when referring to a segment of a population defined by dissatisfaction rather than by a specific count.

Linguistic notes

Tytymättömiä is the partitive plural of the adjective meaning dissatisfied. The word is often contrasted with the nominative plural tyytymättömät (dissatisfied people/things, as a subject complement or predicative form in some constructions) and with other inflected forms such as tyytymättömien (genitive). The term is widely used in contemporary Finnish media, marketing research, and academic writing to characterize attitudes rather than to name a fixed group.
