Sovituksista

Sovituksista is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun sovitus. In Finnish, sovitus has several related meanings: reconciliation or bringing parties into harmony after a dispute; a settlement or agreement reached between opposing sides; theological atonement; and in music, the resolution of a dissonance. The exact sense of sovitus, and thus of sovituksista, depends on context.

In social and legal discourse, sovitus refers to the settlement of a dispute, often achieved through negotiation or an agreed arrangement outside formal court proceedings. The genitive plural sovituksista would be used when speaking of multiple such settlements; for example, "Sovituksista on neuvoteltu useiden osapuolten välillä," which signals that several settlements have been discussed or reached.

In theology, sovitus denotes atonement—the reconciliation between humanity and the divine. When discussing more than one formulation or example of atonement, texts may refer to sovitukset, and in reference to those, sovituksista may appear in scholarly or theological writing.

In music theory, sovitus means the resolution of a musical tension, such as the move from a dissonance to a consonance. Discussions that cover multiple passages or works might refer to sovituksista to indicate the resolutions occurring across sections.

Usage notes: sovitus is a broad term, and in everyday language more specific expressions are common, such as sovintosopimus for a settlement agreement or säännöllinen ratkaisu for a routine resolution. Sovituksista is most typical in formal or written contexts when discussing several instances of reconciliation, settlement, atonement, or musical resolution.
