Jännitteisille

Jännitteisille is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective jännitteinen, which describes something characterized by tension or being tense. The word can refer to psychological or social tension in everyday language, or, in technical contexts, to properties related to voltage or electrical tension when used metaphorically or descriptively. The primary meaning in common usage is about atmospheres or situations that feel strained or charged.

Jännitteinen stems from the noun jännite, meaning both tension and voltage. As an -inen adjective, it follows the standard Finnish declension pattern for adjectives and agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. The form jännitteisille is the allative plural of jännitteinen, used when the adjective modifies a plural noun in the allative case, typically translating to “to/for tense ones” or “for tense people/things.” This form is common in constructions that indicate welfare, instructions, or actions directed at a group described as tense or easily stressed.

Usage notes:

- In everyday Finnish, jännitteinen commonly describes situations (a jännitteinen tilanne) or atmospheres (jännitteinen ilmapiiri).

- In technical language, jännitteinen may appear in expressions related to voltage, though more specific terms such as korkea jännite (high voltage) or jännitteellinen liittymä are often preferred.

Example sentences:

- Tilanteessa oli jännitteinen tunnelma, ja asialliset keskustelut olivat vaikeita.

- Jännitteisille ihmisille tarjotaan rentoutusharjoituksia ja stressinhallintakoulutusta.
