Keskuksia

Keskuksia is a Finnish noun form that represents the plural partitive of the noun keskukset, meaning centers or hubs. It is used when referring to multiple centers in contexts where the center is not a definite subject, such as after numerals or quantifiers, or when the centers are the object of a sentence.

The root keskus denotes a center, hub, or focal point in various domains. Because keskuksia is partitive plural, it commonly appears in constructions that express an indefinite quantity or a non-specific reference to several centers. For example, phrases like useita keskuksia or useista keskuksista show how the form is used with numerals or expressions of quantity.

Keskuksia can refer to a range of centers depending on context. In urban planning and geography, it may describe multiple city centers or central districts within a region. In technology and business, it can refer to data centers, command centers, or other central facilities. The word is thus flexible across fields, illustrating how Finnish uses a single root to denote different kinds of central places.

In relation to other Finnish forms, keskuksia is connected to keskus (center) and keskukset (centers, nominative plural). It exemplifies Finnish noun inflection, where the partitive plural ends with -sia/-uksia after a stem ending in -us.
