Kysymysten

Kysymysten is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun kysymys, which means “question.” It denotes a relationship to questions, such as possession or association, and is used to connect another noun in a compound phrase. For example, kysymysten vastaukset means “the answers to the questions,” and kysymysten määrä means “the number of questions.”

In usage, kysymysten appears when referring to a set of questions or an aspect pertaining to questions. It typically appears before a head noun that expresses what is being described or counted, and it contrasts with other forms such as kysymyksen (genitive singular) or kysymyksiä (partitive plural), which serve different grammatical functions in a sentence.

The word kysymys itself is a native Finnish noun derived from the verb kysyä, “to ask.” The noun form asks about a thing to be asked, and its inflection changes with case and number to fit the sentence. Kysymysten is one such inflected form used in plural genitive constructions.

Examples of phrases using kysymysten include asking for the number of questions in a quiz (kysymysten määrä), presenting the answers to the questions (kysymysten vastaukset), or discussing the content of the questions themselves (kysymysten sisältö). The form is a routine part of Finnish grammar for constructing noun phrases that relate to questions in a possessive or associative sense.
