Valheellisia

Valheellisia is the plural partitive form of the Finnish adjective valheellinen, meaning false, deceitful, or fraudulent. It is used to describe statements, information, or objects that are not true or are intentionally misleading.

In usage, valheellisia modifies plural nouns in the partitive case. Examples include valheellisia väitteitä (false claims), valheellisia asiakirjoja (fraudulent documents), and valheellisia tilastoja (false statistics). The form signals that the referenced items are considered false or deceptive rather than merely uncertain, and it is common in journalism, research, and legal contexts.

Etymology and grammar: valheellinen is formed from valhe, meaning lie, with the adjectival suffix -ellinen, which yields adjectives describing belonging to or characterized by something. The related plural form valheellisia follows standard Finnish agreement rules for adjectives in the partitive plural.

Related terms and nuances: valheellisuus refers to the quality of being false or deceptive, while valhe (lie) and valehtelu (lying) denote the act or concept of lying. Valheellisuus is distinct from expressions indicating mere doubt or inaccuracy, as valheellinen typically carries a stronger moral or factual judgment.
