Staattisten

Staattinen is a Finnish adjective meaning "static" or "stationary," describing something that does not change over time. Staattisten is the genitive plural form of staattinen, used when the noun it modifies is plural and in the genitive case. In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the noun in number and case, so the form changes to staattiset (nominative plural), staattisten (genitive plural), staattisia (partitive plural), and so on.

In practice, staattisten appears in phrases such as staattisten ilmiöiden (of static phenomena), staattisten järjestelmien (of static systems), or staattisten tilojen (of static states). It is common in scientific, technical, and academic writing to distinguish static from dynamic concepts, for example in physics, computing, and engineering. Paired terms include dynaamiset for "dynamic" phenomena.

Grammatical note: The base forms follow Finnish adjective inflection. Examples: nominative singular staattinen, genitive singular staattisen, partitive singular staattista; nominative plural staattiset, genitive plural staattisten, partitive plural staattisia. The glossed meaning remains closely aligned with the English "static," used to describe lack of change or time-independence.
