Rekursiivisten

Rekursiivisten is a Finnish grammatical form: it is the genitive plural form of the adjective rekursiivinen, meaning recursive. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case, so rekursiivinen becomes rekursiivisten when used with a genitive plural noun. This form appears in technical writing to indicate possession or relation to multiple recursive objects, as in rekursiivisten funktioiden määritelmä.

In practice, rekursiivisten modifies nouns such as function, algorithm, or definition that are written in genitive plural. Examples include rekursiivisten funktioiden määritelmä (“the definition of recursive functions”) and rekursiivisten algoritmien ominaisuudet (“the properties of recursive algorithms”). The phrase shows how Finnish adjectives carry case markers onto the modifying word to reflect the grammatical role of the noun.

Related terms and usage domains include mathematics and computer science, where recursion is a fundamental concept. The adjective rekursiivinen, and its inflected forms such as rekursiivisten, are common in academic Finnish texts discussing recursive definitions, recursive procedures, or recursive data structures. The form supports precise descriptions of relationships among multiple recursive elements in plural contexts.

Etymology-wise, rekursiivinen is part of the international scientific vocabulary and has been assimilated into Finnish from terms like recursion or recursive in other languages, typically through Latin or English paths. The genitive plural form rekursiivisten is a standard inflection used to link to the noun it describes in formal Finnish prose.
