Digitaalisia

Digitaalisia is the partitive plural form of the Finnish adjective digitaalinen, used to describe nouns that are in plural and in the partitive case. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, and digitaalisia is the common form when the noun is plural and the statement involves an indefinite amount or partial quantity. For example: digitaalisia ratkaisuja (digital solutions), digitaalisia valokuvia (digital photos), digitaalisia palveluita (digital services).

The term is widely used in technology, business, media, and education to refer to things that exist in digital form or are related to digital technology. It contrasts with analoginen (analog) and can describe products, resources, environments, performances, and content such as digitaalisia materiaaleja (digital materials) or digitaalisia ympäristöjä (digital environments). The form digitaalisia is typically placed before a noun in a noun phrase, while the corresponding nominative plural form would be digitaaliset.

Etymology and meaning: digitaalinen derives from digitalis, a Latin-based root related to digits or digits (fingers) and, in modern usage, to digital technology. In Finnish, the broader concept of digital technology encompasses data processing, electronic communication, multimedia, and online services. The word digitaalisia thus signals plural digital items or categories described in a non-countable or unspecified quantity.
