vientejä

Vientejä is the plural form of the Finnish noun vienti, meaning exports. It refers to the goods and services that leave a country to be sold in foreign markets. The term is commonly used in economic, statistical, and policy discussions, and it is often contrasted with tuonti, which means imports.

Etymology and forms: Vienti derives from the verb viedä, “to carry away” or “to send out.” The suffix -jä marks the plural or refers to multiple export items or categories. In practice, Finnish statistics may discuss vienti as a general concept or use vientejä when enumerating specific export items, markets, or sectors.

Usage and context: In official statistics and economic reporting, vientejä denotes the volume or value of exports. Analysts may speak of vientiä koskevat luvut (export figures) or viennin arvo (value of exports). The term is typically used in contrast to tuonti (imports) and in discussions of trade balance and macroeconomic performance. Sectoral discussions might reference specific vientejä, such as energy, forest products, machinery, or chemicals, to illustrate which categories contribute to export levels.

Notes: Vienti and vientejä function as core terms in Finnish economic vocabulary. While vienti can be treated as a mass noun in general discussions, vientejä is useful when referring to individual export items, categories, or statistical breakdowns. For broader trade terminology, see also tuonti and kauppatase (trade balance).
