Ilmaantuvien

Ilmaantuvien is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as a present active participle in genitive plural. It comes from the verb ilmaantua, meaning to appear, to become evident, or to manifest. As a participle used as an adjective, ilmaantuva (and its inflected forms like ilmaantuvien) describes nouns in a way that indicates emergence or appearance.

In practice, ilmaantuvien is used to form noun phrases that mean “emerging” or “appearing” phenomena or states. It is most commonly seen in academic or formal writing, where it modifies a following noun in the genitive or forms part of a compound expression. For example, phrases such as ilmaantuvien ilmiöiden tutkimus mean “the study of emerging phenomena,” and ilmaantuvien faktojen valossa can be rendered as “in light of emerging facts.” The form ilmaantuvien is the genitive plural, so it accompanies a modified noun that is itself in the genitive or part of a larger genitive construction.

It is important to note that ilmaantuvien does not function as a stand-alone noun. Its meaning is derived from the implied sense of emergence or appearance when attached to another noun, typically in scholarly contexts. In everyday language, one might instead use the base form ilmaantuva to describe a singular noun, or construct phrases such as ilmenevät ilmiöt (emerging phenomena) to convey a similar idea.
