Syyllisten

Syyllisten is a Finnish word that translates to "guilty" in English. It is the genitive plural form of the adjective "syyllinen," meaning guilty. This form is used when referring to multiple individuals who are found to be guilty of a crime or wrongdoing. The word's grammatical function in Finnish allows for nuanced expressions related to culpability and accountability within a group.

The concept of syyllisten is fundamental in legal and ethical contexts within Finnish society. When a court of law determines guilt, it may refer to the syyllisten parties involved. Similarly, in discussions about responsibility for a collective failure or transgression, the term syyllisten might be employed to identify all those found to be at fault. The grammatical structure of Finnish, with its case system, necessitates the use of specific forms like the genitive plural to accurately convey such collective attribution of guilt. Understanding syyllisten therefore requires an appreciation of Finnish grammar and its implications for expressing complex social and legal ideas.
