Tuhoisia

Tuhoisia is the plural partitive form of the Finnish adjective tuhoisa, meaning destructive or disastrous. In Finnish grammar, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case; when the noun is plural and in the partitive case, the adjective takes the form tuhoisia. This form is common in descriptions of damage, harmful effects, or negative outcomes where the noun is indefinite or not fully quantified.

The form tuhoisia is typically used to modify plural nouns in the partitive case, for example tuhoisia seurauksia (destructive consequences) or tuhoisia vaikutuksia (destructive effects). It can appear in sentences where the destruction or harm is described without specifying a precise amount, and it also functions as a predicative adjective in clauses such as Tulokset ovat tuhoisia (The results are destructive). As with other Finnish adjectives, tuhoisia agrees with the noun it describes in number and case, and it remains an attributive or predicative modifier rather than a standalone noun.

Related forms include tuhoisa (masculine/feminine singular) and the other case-inflected variants used with different noun forms, but tuhoisia specifically denotes the plural partitive. The term is primarily encountered in Finnish language use, including journalism, academic writing, and everyday speech, when conveying the sense of multiple destructive effects or ongoing harm.
