Kielioppisia

Kielioppisia is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective kielioppinen, which means grammatical or related to grammar. It is the partitive plural form used when a noun it modifies is in the partitive case and plural. This form appears in everyday language when describing multiple items that pertain to grammar, such as errors or remarks.

In usage, kielioppisia does not stand alone as a noun; it functions as an adjective. The phrase kielioppisia virheitä, for example, means grammatical errors, with virheitä being the partitive plural of virhe (error). Similarly, kielioppisia huomautuksia would translate to grammatical remarks. Finnish adjectives, including kielioppinen, agree with the noun they modify in number and case, which is why the form kielioppisia appears in such contexts.

Etymologically, the term derives from kielioppi, the Finnish word for grammar, combined with the suffix -inen to form kielioppinen. The adjective then takes inflected endings to match its noun in different grammatical cases and numbers, producing forms like kielioppinen (singular, nominative) or kielioppisia (partitive plural) as needed.
