aloittelevien

Aloittelevien is the genitive plural form of the Finnish adjective aloittelevä, which means proactive or initiative-taking. It functions as a modifier in noun phrases and does not denote a separate concept on its own. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, so aloittelevä becomes aloittelevien when describing plural nouns in the genitive case (for example, aloittelevien nuorten järjestämä tapahtuma, an event organized by the initiative-taking youths).

The form is commonly found in written Finnish in contexts where groups or individuals are characterized by taking initiative, such as descriptions of civic groups, youth organizations, or collaborative projects. It can also be used more broadly to label or discuss proactive attitudes within a population.

Etymology: aloittelevien derives from aloite (initiative) and the active adjective aloittelevä, with the genitive plural suffix -ien marking the noun phrase's possessive relation.

Note: It is not a proper noun or the name of a movement; its meaning depends on the surrounding noun.
