Kuolemantapausten

Kuolemantapaus is a Finnish term referring to a death event or fatality. The form kuolemantapausten is the genitive plural, used in phrases that denote the death cases associated with or counted within a larger context, such as statistics, reports, or analyses. The base word combines kuolema (death) and tapaus (case, incident), yielding a formal, neutral expression commonly found in public health and official statistics.

In practical use, kuolemantapausten appears in professional or statistical language to discuss multiple death events. Examples include phrases like kuolemantapausten määrä (the number of death cases), kuolemantapausten syyt (causes of death in mortality data), and kuolemantapausten tilastot (statistics on death cases). The term is widespread in epidemiology, demography, and health reporting, and it may also occur in forensic or legal contexts when summarizing cases of fatalities.

Linguistically, kuolemantapausten is preferred in formal text over more colloquial expressions. It is closely related to kuolemantapaukset (nominative plural) and to associated terms such as kuolemansyy (cause of death) and kuolleisuus (mortality). While kuolemantapaus itself is a standard noun for a single death case, kuolemantapausten is specifically the genitive form used to attribute or relate to multiple cases within a sentence.
