Kyseisen

Kyseisen is a Finnish adjective form meaning "the said" or "the aforementioned," used to refer to something previously mentioned in a sentence or document. It is the genitive singular form of the adjective kyseinen, and it agrees with the noun it modifies in grammatical case and number. In practice, kyseisen appears in formal or official language—such as legal, administrative, and diplomatic writing—to anchor references without repeating the noun.

In use, kyseisen is typically followed by a noun in the genitive or by a noun in the nominative that is embedded in a larger genitive construction. Common examples include phrases like "kyseisen henkilön osoite" (the said person's address) and "kyseisen asian ratkaisu" (the resolution of the said matter). In everyday Finnish, speakers often opt for "edellinen" or simply repeat the noun, but kyseisen remains common in official discourse.

Etymology and grammar: kyseinen derives from Finnish demonstratives used to indicate a particular item or matter; kyseisen is the inflected genitive singular form that accompanies a noun in genitive. This pattern reflects standard Finnish adjective inflection, where the form changes to align with the case and number of the noun it modifies.

Notes: Kyseisen is a conventional component of Finnish grammar rather than a standalone concept. Outside of Finnish contexts, the form may appear in translations or linguistic discussions of Finnish prose. The term’s primary function is referential precision in formal writing.
