Suurikokoinen

Suurikokoinen is a Finnish adjective meaning “large-sized” or “of large size.” It is formed from the stems suur- (large) and koko (size) with the suffix -inen, a common pattern in Finnish for describing a quality. The word modifies nouns and can be used both attributively (suurikokoinen koira) and predicatively (Koira on suurikokoinen). Like other Finnish adjectives, suurikokoinen agrees with the noun in number and case.

In usage, suurikokoinen describes size across contexts such as people, animals, objects, and clothing. It appears in descriptive texts, product descriptions, catalogs, media reporting, and everyday speech. The term is generally neutral, though in some contexts speakers may prefer more everyday terms such as iso; isokokoinen is a common near-synonym used in many contexts.

Etymology and variation: the term is a compound formed from the Finnish words suur- and koko, joined with the -inen suffix to express a quality of size. Finnish adjectives of this type follow standard inflection: for example, suurikokoinen (singular nominative), suurikokoisen (genitive singular), suurikokoista (partitive singular), and suurikokoiset (plural nominative). The exact inflected forms change with number and case, as with other Finnish adjectives.
