Erikokoiset

Erikokoiset is a Finnish adjective meaning “of different sizes” or “varied-sized.” It is used to describe objects or groups that include size variants or exhibit size variation within a set. The form is the plural of erikokoinen; the singular form is erikokoinen. The word is built from eri- meaning “different” and koko meaning “size,” with the plural suffix -iset to mark a plural noun phrase.

In usage, erikokoiset describes tangible items such as erikokoiset laatikot (boxes in different sizes) or erikokoiset kappaleet (pieces of varying sizes). It commonly appears in product descriptions, catalogs, and technical writing when size diversity is relevant. In biology or anthropology, one might refer to erikokoiset yksilöt to discuss individuals with different body sizes within a population. The term is generally neutral and does not imply any specific distribution of sizes.

Grammatical notes: Erikokoiset is an attributive adjective and agrees with the noun in number and case (for example, erikokoiset laatikot in the nominative plural, erikokoisten laatikoiden in the genitive plural). The adverbial form erikokoisesti exists, though it is not frequently used in everyday language; often a different construction is chosen to convey variation in size.
