Tapaturmaisia

Tapaturmaisia is a Finnish adjective meaning injury-related or accident-related. It is used to describe things connected with injuries or incidents causing harm, particularly in health care, safety reporting, and public health statistics. The base noun is tapaturma, meaning an accident or injury, and tapaturmainen forms the adjective; tapaturmaisia is its plural partitive form used before plural nouns, for example tapaturmaisia tapauksia (injury-related cases) or tapaturmaisia vammoja (injuries).

The term is typically employed to specify that a subject or set of events is linked to injury rather than other causes. It is commonly used in contexts such as epidemiology, safety analyses, and medical records to highlight the injury aspect of incidents. In Finnish, it is often contrasted with phrases referring to general accidents or non-injury events, helping to categorize information by its relation to harm.

In usage, tapaturmaisia appears in phrases describing data, reports, or discussions focused on injuries resulting from accidents rather than diseases. For example, epidemiological notes might describe tapaturmaisia tapauksia, or safety assessments might analyze tapaturmaisia tapahtumia to address prevention and response. The word illustrates how Finnish forms adjectives from nouns to specify a characteristic relation to a concept like injury or accident.
