Realistisia

Realistisia is the Finnish adjective realistinen in the partitive plural form. It is used to describe nouns in contexts where the object is indefinite or moved into the partitive, or when referring to multiple items in a partitive sense. The term conveys that something is realistic or aligned with realism.

Etymology and form: Realistisia comes from realistinen, which is derived from the Finnish word realism (realismi) and ultimately from European loanwords such as French réaliste or German Realismus. Like other Finnish adjectives, realistinen declines to match the case, number, and definiteness of the noun it describes, so realistisia is used when the noun is plural and in partitive case.

Usage: Realistisia is common in discussions of art, literature, design, planning, and everyday language. Examples include realistisia tavoitteita (realistic goals), realistisia kuvia (realistic pictures), and realistisia odotuksia (realistic expectations). It can appear in predicate position after forms of olla (e.g., Näkemykset olivat realistisia). The form also appears in phrases describing assessments, forecasts, or interpretations that aim for practicality and plausibility.

Notes: Realistisia should agree with the noun in number and case, reflecting Finnish grammar where adjectives take the appropriate inflection. It often contrasts with idealistinen or utopinen to emphasize practicality rather than aspiration alone.
