Samantyyppisten

Samantyyppisten is a Finnish adjective in its genitive plural form. The lemma samantyyppinen means “of the same type” or “of a similar kind.” It is formed from sama (“the same”) and tyyppi (“type”) with the usual -inen suffix that marks adjectives in Finnish. Adjectives decline for number and case, so common forms include samantyyppinen (singular nominative), samantyyppiset (plural nominative), samantyyppisten (plural genitive), and samantyyppisiä (plural partitive). The form samantyyppisten is used when the noun it modifies appears in genitive or when the phrase is itself in a genitive construction, as in monien samantyyppisten tuotteiden laatuvaatimukset, meaning “the quality requirements of many products of the same type.”

Usage of samantyyppisten tends to denote a taxonomic or classificatory relationship, indicating that several items belong to the same type category rather than merely being similar. It is therefore more precise than general terms for similarity in Finnish, and it is often found in scientific, technical, or descriptive prose when comparing groups of objects, species, or concepts.

Related forms include samantyyppinen (singular), samantyyppiset (nominative plural), and samantyyppisiä (partitive plural). In contrast, words like samanlainen or samankaltainen express generic likeness without explicitly signaling a shared type category.
