artiklojen

Artiklojen is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun artiklo, a historical or formal term used to denote “articles” as individual items within a document, treaty, list, or similar compilation. The form appears mainly in older Finnish texts and in translations influenced by Swedish legal language. In contemporary Finnish, the standard word for “article” in most contexts is artikkeli, with the genitive plural artikkeleiden; artiklojen is encountered primarily in historical, legal, or scholarly registers.

Etymology and usage: Artiklo is a borrowings-in-origin term, derived from Swedish artikel or Latin articulus, and it is most often found in specialized or archaised language contexts. Because it is not common in everyday Finnish, artiklojen tends to occur in archives, philological works, legal translations, or academic discussions of older texts. The form signals a formal or antiquated register.

Examples and treatment: Artiklojen määrä ja artiklojen sisältö ovat tärkeitä sopimuksen tulkinnan kannalta. In historical analysis, researchers may contrast artiklojen käyttötapaa nykyisen artikkelitermin kanssa. The word is typically avoided in modern prose outside of quotations or precise scholarly discussion.
