Tyyppisten

Tyyppisten is the genitive plural form of the Finnish adjective tyyppinen, which means "typical" or "characteristic." In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the nouns they describe, and the genitive plural form is -isten. As a result, tyyppisten appears in phrases where the noun it modifies is in the genitive plural, or in descriptive noun phrases built around such combinations.

Usage of tyyppisten is common in formal or written Finnish, including academic, regulatory, and analytic text. It is used to indicate characteristics or categories associated with a type or group, rather than to label a single item. For example, phrases like tyyppisten tapausten analyysi (analysis of typical cases) or tyyppisten ominaisuuksien luokittelu (classification of characteristic features) illustrate its function in contextual noun phrases.

Because tyyppinen is an adjective, tyyppisten cannot stand alone as a lexical item; it serves as a grammatical modifier within a larger noun phrase. The form reflects standard Finnish adjective declension: it accompanies a following noun in genitive plural, aligning with Finnish grammar rather than representing a separate concept.

Etymology of the root lies in the noun tyyppi (type, model) and the suffix -inen, which yields the meaning "of a type" or "typical." The term is primarily of interest in discussions of Finnish morphology and syntax rather than as a separate semantic entry.
