Naispuolisten

Naispuolisten is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the genitive plural of the adjective naispuolinen, meaning female or pertaining to women. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, so naispuolinen takes different endings depending on the grammatical role of the head noun. Naispuolisten signals that the related noun is possessed by or related to a group of women.

As a genitive plural form, naispuolisten is typically used in phrases where a noun in the head position is in the genitive plural, or where possession or attribution is expressed across a group of women. Examples include expressions like naispuolisten oikeuksien turvaaminen (the safeguarding of women’s rights) and naispuolisten jäsenten mielipiteet (the opinions of female members). In these contexts, the form serves to link the head noun to the group described by the adjective, without introducing a separate noun for the group.

Usage considerations include awareness that naispuolisten is not a standalone noun but an inflected adjective form. It appears mainly in formal or written Finnish, including academic, legal, and political language, where discussions concern groups of women or female-related attributes. The form helps specify gendered possessors or attributes when multiple women are involved.

In everyday speech, speakers may choose more general or less gender-specific constructions, but naispuolisten remains a standard grammatical option for precise, gender-aware expressions in Finnish.
