virheetöntä

Virheetöntä is the partitive singular form of the Finnish adjective virheetön, meaning “without mistakes” or “flawless.” It is used to describe a noun in the partitive case or in expressions where the action or quality described is viewed in an indefinite or ongoing sense. In practice, virheetöntä functions as a descriptive modifier that signals high quality or perfection.

Grammar and usage notes: Finnish adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify. The partitive singular virheetöntä is the form used when the noun is in the partitive case, or in constructions where the object is indefinite or not fully counted. Virheetöntä is typically applied to non-personal nouns such as information, work, performance, or results. It is less common to use virheetöntä with concrete persons; more often the term describes objects, outcomes, or abstract qualities.

Common collocations include virheetöntä tietoa (information without errors), virheetöntä työtä (flawless work), virheetöntä suoritusta (flawless performance), and virheetöntä tulosta (error-free result). The term often appears in formal, evaluative, or quality-assurance contexts, where precision and reliability are emphasized.

Relation to related terms: virheetön is the base form meaning simply “faultless” or “without mistakes,” often used attributively in nominative form (virheetön työ, virheetön esitys). Virheetöntä highlights the grammatical role of the noun it accompanies when the noun is in partitive or akin constructions.
