Ohjainten

Ohjainten is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun ohjain, which means controller, input device, or mechanism that directs a system. In Finnish usage, ohjain covers a wide range of devices from consumer electronics like remote controls and game controllers to industrial or software components that govern operations. The possessive form ohjainten is used when referring to something belonging to or associated with multiple controllers.

Morphology and usage are typical of Finnish nouns in the -ain group. The singular nominative is ohjain; the plural nominative is ohjaimet. The singular genitive is ohjaimen, and the plural genitive is ohjainten. The genitive plural is commonly employed to indicate possession, association, or characteristics shared by several controllers, for example in phrases such as ohjainten liitännät (the connections of the controllers) or ohjainten yhteentoimivuus (the interoperability of the controllers).

In technical and everyday Finnish, ohjainten appears in texts that discuss hardware configurations, interfaces, or system design where multiple controllers are involved. Common collocations include ohjainten asennusohjeet (installation instructions for the controllers), ohjainten käyttöliittymä (the controllers’ user interface), and ohjainten yhteensopivuus (compatibility of the controllers). The form helps clarify ownership or relation to a group of devices rather than a single unit.
