Kliinisia

Kliinisia is the plural partitive form of the Finnish adjective kliininen, which means clinical. In standard Finnish, the plural partitive form is kliinisiä; kliinisia is generally considered a misspelling or nonstandard variant that may appear in informal writing or due to typographical error. The term kliininen describes things related to clinical care, patient settings, or clinical research.

In medical and scientific Finnish, kliinisiä is used to modify plural nouns in the partitive case. Examples include kliinisiä tutkimuksia (clinical studies), kliinisiä ominaisuuksia (clinical features), and kliinisiä suosituksia (clinical guidelines). These phrases are common in hospital reports, research articles, and educational materials dealing with patient care and clinical practice.

The concept of clinical aspects in Finnish is widely used across disciplines such as medicine, dentistry, psychology, and nursing. Related terms include kliininen tutkimus (clinical research), kliininen hoito (clinical care), and kliininen näyttö (clinical evidence). Distinct from laboratory or preclinical contexts, kliininen emphasizes patient-oriented settings and real-world clinical observations.

Etymology traces kliininen to the broader international medical vocabulary, with Finnish adaptations often reflecting translations from Swedish or English. When writing in Finnish, it is standard to use kliinisiä for plural, partitive contexts; if you encounter kliinisia, it is likely a typographical variant.
