hyviä

"Hyviä" means "good" in plural form (partitive case) in English.

In a sentence

  • Pöydällä on hyviä kirjoja.

    There are good books on the table.

    The word 'hyviä' is the plural partitive form of the adjective 'hyvä', used here because the noun 'kirjoja' (books) is treated as indefinite and partitive.

  • Hän nauttii hyviä aterioita joka päivä.

    He/she enjoys good meals every day.

    The word 'hyviä' is in its plural partitive form, matching the noun 'aterioita' (meals) in both number (plural) and case (partitive), as the verb 'nauttii' (enjoys) requires the partitive case.

  • Ostan hyviä hedelmiä kaupasta.

    I am buying good fruits from the store.

    The word 'hyviä' modifies the plural noun 'hedelmiä' (fruits) and appears in the partitive case, which is used for partial objects or indefinite quantities.

  • Hän on leiponut hyviä pullia.

    She has baked good buns.

    The word 'hyviä' serves as the plural partitive form of 'hyvä,' indicating the quality of multiple instances of an object (here, buns).

  • Olemme saaneet hyviä uutisia.

    We have received good news.

    In this sentence, 'hyviä' modifies the plural partitive form of 'uutisia,' denoting positive or fortunate information.

  • Hyviä iltoja toivotettiin kaikille vieraille.

    Good evenings were wished to all guests.

    Here, 'hyviä' is used as part of a greeting, in the plural partitive form, to express well-wishing.
