Inhimillisten

Inhimillisten is the genitive plural form of the Finnish adjective inhimillinen, meaning humane or human-related. In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the nouns they modify, so inhimillinen becomes inhimilliset in the nominative plural and inhimillisten in the genitive plural. The form is used when the noun it modifies is in genitive plural, for example in phrases like inhimillisten arvojen (of humane values) or inhimillisten olosuhteiden (of humane conditions).

The sense of inhimillisten typically relates to humanity or humane treatment, often in ethical or humanitarian contexts. It conveys a positive or value-laden nuance, such as humane policies, humane conduct, or humane considerations. The term is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form that appears in phrases describing human-centered or humane qualities.

Usage notes: In everyday Finnish, phrases using inhimillisten frequently appear in formal or written styles. In many contexts, speakers may opt for more common expressions such as ihmisoikeudet (human rights) or ihmisläheinen (humane, human-centered) depending on the nuance desired. Because inhimillisen modifies a plural noun in the genitive, common collocations include arvojen, kohtelun, and olosuhteiden.
