Virologiset

Virologiset is a Finnish adjective meaning virological or pertaining to virology. It is formed from the noun virologia (virology) and the suffix -inen, with virologinen as the base singular form. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, so the plural or modifying form appears as virologiset when describing plural nouns.

The word is used in scientific and academic Finnish to describe things related to the study of viruses. For example, virologiset tutkimukset means virological studies, and virologiset menetelmät refers to virological methods. It can also appear in phrases like virologiset tulokset (virological results) or virologiset turvallisuusohjeet (virological safety guidelines). Although virologiset is common in research contexts, it is not a separate field or concept on its own; rather, it is the standard adjectival form applied to relevant nouns.

Other related terms include virologia (virology) and virologinen, the singular form used to modify a single noun, such as virologinen tutkimus (a virological study). When writing in Finnish, capitalization is only at sentence starts or in titles; virologiset itself is lowercase in normal prose. This form serves as a linguistic tool to specify content connected to virology within Finnish-language texts.
