Aktivoimien

Aktivoimien is a Finnish inflected form used in reference to the concept of activation, coming from the verb aktivoida (to activate) and the noun-forming suffix -ma. The word aktivoima means “an activation” or “the act of activating.” The genitive plural form of aktivoima is aktivoimien, and it is used to express possession or association with multiple activations, for example in phrases like aktivoimien määrä (the number of activations) or aktivoimien signaalit (the activation signals).

In contemporary Finnish, aktivoima is relatively uncommon outside technical or scientific writing, where aktivoimien appears primarily as a grammatical form rather than as a standalone term. The related noun aktivointi is more widely used to denote the process of activating or the act of activation. As a result, aktivoimien is typically found in specialized texts, particularly in fields such as biology, neuroscience, chemistry, information processing, or engineering, where multiple activation events or instances are discussed.

Grammatically, aktivoimien behaves as a plural genitive form of a -ima noun. Its use requires the surrounding noun to reflect the correct case in the sentence. In everyday language, writers may prefer aktivoimat or aktivointi phrases to convey similar meaning, but aktivoimien remains valid in precise, technical contexts.
