Teleskooppisten

Teleskooppisten is a grammatical form in Finnish. It is the genitive plural form of the adjective teleskooppinen, which means telescopic. The form is used when an adjective that describes a plural noun appears in the genitive case, for example in noun phrases that express possession or specification.

In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. The genitive plural ending -isten corresponds to a possessive or descriptive relation to a plural noun. Therefore teleskooppisten is not a standalone noun but a form that accompanies a plural noun in the genitive case, such as those that indicate “of telescopic ...” or “telescopic ...’.”

Examples:

- teleskooppisten laitteiden kalibrointi, meaning the calibration of telescopic devices.

- teleskooppisten linssien laadun parantaminen, meaning improving the quality of telescopic lenses.

Etymology and relation to broader language use:

The adjective teleskooppinen derives from teleskooppi (telescope) with the common Finnish suffix -inen to form an adjective meaning “telescopic.” The genitive plural form teleskooppisten is then used when pairing with a singular or plural noun in genitive construction, allowing precise description in technical or scientific Finnish.

Overall, teleskooppisten is a specific inflected form rather than a standalone concept, reflecting how Finnish adjectives agree with nouns in genderless, case-based grammar. See also Finnish grammar, adjectives, genitive case, and vocabulary related to telescopes.
