Laitteiden

Laitteiden is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun laite, meaning device or apparatus. It denotes possession, association, or description when referring to more than one device and is common in technical, administrative, and inventory language.

In Finnish, laite declines through several cases and numbers. The nominative plural is laitteet, the genitive singular is laitteen, and the genitive plural is laitteiden. The genitive plural laitteiden is used after another noun to indicate a relationship with multiple devices, as in laitteen toiminta (the operation of the device) or laitteiden toiminta (the operation of the devices), as well as in phrases describing characteristics, ownership, or usage of devices.

Examples of usage include: Laitteiden hallinta vaatii koulutusta (Managing devices requires training). Laitteiden määrä kasvaa vuosittain (The number of devices is increasing each year). Laitteiden asennusprosessi on yksinkertaistunut (The installation process of the devices has been simplified). These constructions illustrate how laitteiden functions as a linking element to describe actions or attributes related to multiple devices.

See also: Laite (device) and Laitteet (devices). The form laitteiden is a standard part of Finnish possessive and descriptive constructions, enabling clear expression of relationships involving multiple devices in formal and technical contexts.
