Opetuksellisten

Opetuksellisten is a Finnish grammatical form used as the genitive plural of the adjective opetuksellinen, meaning didactic or instructional. In Finnish, adjectives decline to match the noun they modify in number and case, and the genitive plural ending for adjectives is -isten. Therefore, opetuksellisten conveys the sense “of the didactic ones” or “belonging to the didactic [things/people].” It is not a separate concept, but a case form that appears in various constructions.

Common uses include referring to groups or things described as didactic, where the genitive plural indicates possession, relation, or attribution. For example, in expressions such as tavoitteiden saavuttaminen (the achievement of the didactic goals) or säännösten rikkominen (violation of the didactic regulations), the stem opetuksellisten marks a plural, genitive relationship to tavoitteiden or säännösten. The form is typical in formal, academic, or educational texts that discuss teaching methods, curricula, or didactic principles as a plural set.

Related forms include opetuksellinen (singular nominative), opetukselliset (nominative plural, “the didactic ones”), and other inflected cases like opetuksellisten tavoitteiden or opetuksellisten periaatteiden toteutuminen. While opetuksellisten itself functions solely as a grammatical form, its correct use helps clarify scope and ownership when describing didactic materials, policies, or concepts within Finnish writing.
