Luonnollisista

Luonnollisista is an inflected form of the Finnish adjective luonnollinen, meaning natural or inherent. It is the elative plural form, used when the adjective modifies a plural noun in the elative case. The elative in Finnish expresses origin, source, or cause, among other functions. Therefore, luonnollisista appears in phrases such as 'luonnollisista syistä' (for natural reasons) and 'luonnollisista tekijöistä johtuvat vaikutukset' (effects arising from natural factors).

In contrast, other inflectional forms of the same adjective include 'luonnolliset' (nominative plural), 'luonnollisten' (genitive plural), and 'luonnollisia' (partitive plural). The word is built from luonto (nature) and the suffix -llinen, which is used to form adjectives meaning 'characteristic of' or 'having the quality of.' In usage, luonnollisista is common in formal or written Finnish, particularly in discussions of natural versus artificial phenomena, causes, or explanations. It should be distinguished from the adverb luonnollisesti, which means 'naturally' in the sense of 'in a natural way' rather than as a modifier of a noun.
