Toimituksellisten

Toimituksellisten is a Finnish grammatical form that appears mainly in journalism and publishing contexts. It is the genitive plural form of the adjective toimituksellinen, which means “editorial” or “relating to the editorial office or newsroom.” The word is derived from toimitus (editorial office, newsroom) with the common adjectival suffix -ksellinen, producing a term used to describe things associated with the editorial domain.

Grammatically, toimituksellisten does not function as a stand-alone noun. It occurs within noun phrases to indicate belonging or relation to the editorial office, editorial staff, or editorial practices. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, so the genitive plural of the adjective takes the ending -isten, yielding toimituksellisten when the noun it modifies is in genitive plural, such as in the phrases toimituksellisten käytäntöjen or toimituksellisten jäsenten.

Common usages include phrases such as toimituksellisten käytäntöjen (editorial practices’), toimituksellisten jäsenten (members of the editorial staff), and toimituksellisten ohjeiden (editorial guidelines). The form is standard in formal writing about media organizations and editorial processes; it is not a separate concept, but a morphological form used to express possession or relation to editorial affairs.
