Korkeita

Korkeita is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective korkea, meaning high or tall. It is the partitive plural form, used when describing plural nouns in the partitive case. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case, and korkeita appears in contexts where the noun phrase is indefinite, partitive, or involved in negation or other constructions that require the partitive.

In practice, korkeita occurs with a variety of plural nouns to express height or elevation. For example, korkeita rakennuksia means tall buildings, and korkeita puita means tall trees. The form can also appear in predicative position after the verb olla (to be), as in rakennukset ovat korkeita, meaning the buildings are tall. The partitive plural is distinct from the nominative plural korkeita versus korkeita? Actually the nominative plural is korkeita for some adjectives; the distinction is primarily between cases and number, with korkeita serving the partitive plural.

Related forms include korkea (singular nominative), korkeat (plural nominative), and korkeiden (plural genitive). These variations reflect Finnish adjective agreement across cases and numbers. Use of korkeita is most common when the noun is in the partitive or in predicates describing a non-finite or indefinite quantity, or when the sentence emphasizes a subset of tall objects rather than their totality.

Korkeita, as a form, therefore represents a standard grammatical tool in Finnish for expressing height in relation to plural, non-specific objects, and it is routinely trended in descriptive writing, reporting, and everyday speech.
