aritmeettisten

Aritmeettisten is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the genitive plural of the adjective aritmeettinen, meaning arithmetical or relating to arithmetic. It appears in noun phrases to indicate “of the arithmetical” or “belonging to arithmetic” when the head noun is in a plural possessive or in a genitive construction.

Etymology and morphology: The form derives from aritmetikka (arithmetic) with the adjective ending -inen, yielding aritmeettinen. The genitive plural ending -isten is then attached to produce aritmeettisten. This pattern is typical for adjectives of the -inen type in Finnish and is used to modify plural nouns in genitive structures.

Usage: Aritmeettisten is used to link arithmetic-related concepts to a noun in possessive or genitive form. Examples include phrases such as “aritmeettisten laskujen tulokset” (the results of the arithmetic calculations) or “aritmeettisten sääntöjen mukaan” (according to the arithmetical rules). In Finnish, such forms allow precise description of relationships within noun phrases without changing the underlying head noun.

Relation to related terms: The base concept is connected to aritmetiikka (arithmetic) and to other arinmatical descriptors in Finnish. Aritmeettinen as the base adjective appears in various cases, while aritmeettisten serves specifically to express genitive plural modifier relationships.
