ajallisista

Ajallisista is the elative plural form of the Finnish adjective ajallinen, meaning temporal or time-related. The term denotes things pertaining to time and is typically found in formal or academic Finnish, where distinctions between time-based and other dimensions are important.

In Finnish grammar, adjectives decline to reflect number and case. When an adjective modifies a plural noun in the elative case, it takes the -ista ending. Therefore, ajallinen becomes ajallisista in this context. Examples include ajallisista seikoista ("from temporal matters") and ajallisista näkökohdista ("from temporal perspectives"). The form ajallisista is thus a standard inflection pattern rather than a standalone noun.

Usage of ajallisista is most common in philosophical, historical, or humanities writing where authors discuss time-related aspects, tempo, or duration alongside other dimensions such as spatial or conceptual matters. In everyday speech, speakers may opt for more general phrases to convey similar meanings, such as "aikaan liittyvät asiat" or "aikaan liittyvät näkökulmat," depending on context.

Etymologically, ajallinen derives from aika, meaning time, with the adjectival suffix -llinen indicating relation. The elative plural form ajallisista is one of several inflectional variants used to express spatial or relational nuance in Finnish grammar.
