bioteknisten

Bioteknisten is a Finnish inflected form used as the genitive plural of the adjective biotekninen, meaning biotechnological. In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the nouns they modify, so when a plural noun is in the genitive, the modifying adjective takes the genitive plural form bioteknisten. For example, bioteknisten sovellusten kehittäminen means “the development of biotechnological applications,” and bioteknisten menetelmien sääntely means “the regulation of biotechnological methods.” The corresponding forms include biotekninen (biotechnological, nominative singular) and bioteknisten (genitive plural).

Usage and context is primarily in Finnish scientific, regulatory, and policy texts, where discussions about biotechnology, research methods, products, or data are expressed in possessive or relational phrases. It is not a standalone noun; it functions as the genitive plural form of the adjective and modifies plural nouns in contexts such as sovellukset (applications), menetelmät (methods), mahdollisuudet (possibilities), or tiedot (data). The root term biotekniikka refers to biotechnology; biotekninen describes something related to that field.

In practice, bioteknisten appears in phrases that attribute or relate something to biotechnology in a plural genitive context, for example in reports, regulations, or academic writing. The word illustrates Finnish grammar’s pattern of using adjective endings to align with both number and case, signaling relation to the field of biotechnology without forming a separate lexical item.
