virheitä

Virheitä is a Finnish word that represents errors or faults. It is the partitive plural form of virhe, a noun that describes mistakes, incorrect actions, or defects. In everyday Finnish, virhe can refer to a mistaken decision, a miscalculation, or an awkward action.

The form virheitä is used in the partitive case, typically for an indefinite amount of errors or in phrases that require the partitive. For example, "paljon virheitä" means many errors, and "virheitä sattuu" can translate as errors occur. When a specific number is stated, Finnish usually uses the partitive singular after numerals, as in "kolme virhettä" or "viisi virheitä" meaning three or five errors.

Outside everyday language, virhe is used in technical contexts to describe faults or bugs in software, mathematical errors, or measurement errors. The concept is closely related to terms like "virheellinen" (faulty) and "virheellisyys" (faultiness). In discussions of quality control, "virheitä" may refer to defects found during inspection or testing.
