Tuomarien

Tuomarien is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun tuomari, meaning “the judges’” or “of the judges.” It is used to express possession or association when referring to a group of judges, such as in legal or sports contexts. For example, läükauksen tuomarien lausunnot translates to “the judges’ statements,” and tuomarien päätökset to “the judges’ decisions.”

In Finnish, tuomari can denote a judge in a court or a referee in a game, and the genitive plural tuomarien indicates what belongs to or relates to that group. The form appears in phrases describing actions, decisions, or opinions attributed to the judges as a collective.

Morphology and usage notes: The genitive plural is formed from the stem tuomar- with the suffix -ien, yielding tuomarien. This pattern is one of several ways Finnish handles genitive plurals, and it reflects the language’s vowel harmony and consonant structure. The possessive sense carried by tuomarien relies on the surrounding noun to provide the explicit meaning (for example, decisions, opinions, or statements belonging to the judges).

Tuomarien is not a separate noun on its own; it is a grammatical form of tuomari used to indicate possession by a group of judges. The base lemma remains tuomari, with tuomarien functioning within sentences to designate what belongs to or is associated with judges.
