aggressiivisista

Aggressiivisista is the elative plural form of the Finnish adjective aggressiivinen (aggressive). In Finnish, adjectives inflect to agree with the noun they modify, including number and case. The elative plural ending -ista (or -istä, depending on vowel harmony) signals origin or source from a plural noun in the elative case, and is used when referring to several items or groups described as aggressive.

Usage and meaning

Aggressiivisista is used to describe multiple entities that are characterized as aggressive and to indicate “from the aggressive ones” or “of the aggressive ones” in contexts where the head noun is in the elative plural. It often appears with nouns in elative case, such as ihmisistä (from people) or käytöksistä (from behaviors), forming phrases like aggressiivisista ihmisistä or aggressiivisista käytöksistä. The form does not stand alone as a noun; it functions as an adjective declined to match the head noun.

Examples

- Tutkimuksessa viitattiin aggressiivisista käytöksistä johtuvaan ilmapiiriin. (The atmosphere arising from aggressive behaviors was cited in the study.)

- Aggressiivisista ihmisistä kerätty aineisto osoitti riskitekijöitä. (The data collected from aggressive people showed risk factors.)

Note

As with other elative plural forms, aggressiivisista relies on the noun it modifies being in the elative plural; the meaning shifts with the head noun, not with the adjective alone.
