Kuvioitujen

Kuvioitujen is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the genitive plural form of the participial adjective kuvioitu, meaning “patterned” or “figured.” In usage, kuvioitujen functions as a modifier in noun phrases where the head noun is in the genitive plural, signaling relation or possession rather than a standalone meaning. Common contexts include design, textiles, art, and catalog descriptions.

As a general rule in Finnish, participial adjectives like kuvioitu decline to reflect number and case of the noun they describe. The form kuvioitujen indicates that the associated noun is plural and in the genitive case. For example, in the phrase kuvi­oitujen tekstiilien suunnittelu, the meaning is “the design of the patterned textiles.” Likewise, kuvioitujen laattojen väri translates to “the color of the patterned tiles.” In both cases, kuvioitujen alone does not convey a complete idea; it functions within a noun phrase to specify a relationship to another noun in genitive plural.

Kuvioitujen is most commonly encountered in formal or descriptive Finnish, such as design documentation, product catalogs, or academic writing, where precise specification of relationships between items (like textiles, tiles, or prints) is important. The term illustrates Finnish descriptive grammar, where participial adjectives can chain with nouns to express complex relations without using additional prepositions.
