Ideologisista

Ideologisista is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective ideologinen, used to modify a plural noun in specific grammatical cases. It most commonly appears in phrases such as ideologisista syistä (for ideological reasons) and ideologisista näkökulmista (from ideological viewpoints). In Finnish, adjectives change form to agree with the head noun in number and case, so ideologinen becomes ideologisista when referring to a plural noun in certain cases.

Etymology and meaning: ideologinen derives from ideologia, meaning ideology, with the suffix -inen that turns a noun into an adjective meaning “ideological.” The form ideologisista reflects standard Finnish inflection rules for adjectives in the plural and in the relevant case. The word functions as a modifier rather than a standalone noun.

Usage and nuance: Ideologisista is common in political, academic, and media language to attribute motives, arguments, or perspectives to ideology. It signals that a stance or action is grounded in ideological considerations rather than practical or non-ideological factors. The term can carry evaluative nuance depending on context, ranging from descriptive to pejorative.

Examples:

- Hallitus teki päätöksen ideologisista syistä.

- Keskustelijat esittivät ideologisista näkökulmista kritiikkiä.
