adjektiiivisten
Adjektiiivisten is a Finnish grammar term referring to the genitive plural form of the adjective adjektiivinen, which means “adjectival.” In Finnish, adjectives of the -inen type decline like other adjectives, so their genitive plural form is adjektiivisten. This form is used when the adjective functions as a modifier for a plural noun in the genitive case, or when the adjective itself is part of a noun phrase in which the head noun is in genitive. For example, in the phrase adjektiivisten ominaisuuksien, the word adjektiivisten modifies ominaisuuksien and together they mean “of adjectival properties.”
