Resoluutioiden

Resoluutioiden is the genitive plural form of resoluutio, a Finnish noun with two main meanings. The word is used to refer to a formal decision or statement adopted by a deliberative body, such as a parliament, a council, or an international organization. In this sense, resoluutio is close to the English term “resolution,” though in domestic Finnish contexts the word päätös is often used for everyday decisions, while resoluutio appears in official or international text. The second meaning of resoluutio is technical: it denotes image or display resolution, i.e., the level of detail or the number of pixels in a digital image or screen.

The form resoluutioiden is the genitive plural, used to express possession or association with multiple resolutions, for example “useiden resoluutioiden vaikutukset” (the effects of several resolutions) or “YK:n resoluutioiden teksti.” The plural nominative is resoluutioita, but resoluutioiden appears when the noun is part of a possessive or modifying construction in reference to more than one resolution.

In usage, resoluutioiden commonly appears in legal, diplomatic, or archival writing and translations dealing with international bodies, such as United Nations resolutions, as well as in technical discussions about display or image quality in Finnish. The term reflects the cross-domain reach of the word resoluutio, spanning political, legal, and technical contexts.

Etymology traces resoluutio to Latin resolutio, via French résolution and other European languages, before entering Finnish with the specialized senses noted above.
