Kuvineen

Kuvineen is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “with pictures” or “accompanied by images.” It is formed from the noun kuva (picture) combined with the suffix -ineen, a post-nominal marker used to express accompaniment or inclusion of the referenced element. The construction is part of a broader pattern in Finnish where -ineen (and related forms) attaches to a noun to indicate that the thing in question includes or comes with that noun, as in koirineen (with his/her dogs) or lapsineen (with children).

In usage, kuvineen typically functions as a determiner or descriptive modifier in phrases about media or objects that contain visual content. It can be used predicatively, as in Lehti on kuvineen varustettu (“The magazine is equipped with pictures.”). It also appears in compound phrases, often preceding the noun: kuvineen varustettu kirja (a book with pictures), kuvineen julkaistu aikakauslehti (a magazine published with pictures), or kuvineen verkkosivusto (a website with images).

Etymology and form: kuvi- + neen reflects a productive Finnish pattern of indicating accompaniment through a suffixal form. The usage is common in descriptive writing, catalogues, product descriptions, and other contexts where the presence of illustrations or photographs is a notable feature.
