audiovisuaalisten

Audiovisuaalisten is the genitive plural form of the Finnish adjective audiovisuaalinen, which means relating to audio and visual media or technologies. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, so the form audiovisuuaalisten appears when the modified noun is plural and in the genitive case. The form itself does not function as a standalone noun, but as part of noun phrases.

Usage is common in technical, educational, and policy texts that deal with equipment, media production, or broadcasting. Examples include phrases like audiovisuallisten laitteiden (of the audiovisual devices) and audiovisuallisten sisältöjen (of the audiovisual contents). Such constructions appear in product specifications, manuals, research papers, and official documentation.

Etymology and scope: audiovisuaalinen is a compound borrowed into Finnish from international usage, combining audio (sound) and visuaalinen (visual). The genitive plural form audiovisaalisten appears when describing multiple items or categories within a broader audiovisual context. While it signals the same conceptual domain as audiovisual, its role is grammatical rather than lexical, shaping how nouns are linked in a sentence.
