ehdotuksen

Ehdotus is a Finnish noun meaning a proposal, suggestion, or recommendation. It is used in everyday language as well as in formal contexts such as politics, administration, and business. The word is derived from the verb ehdottaa, to propose, and is formed with the noun-forming suffix -us.

In Finnish, ehdotus inflects for case and number. The genitive singular form is ehdotuksen, which is used to indicate possession or association, for example: ehdotuksen sisältö (the content of the proposal) or ehdotuksen mukaan (according to the proposal). The base form for singular is ehdotus, and the plural nominative is ehdotukset, with genitive plural ehdotteiden. Other cases follow standard Finnish declension patterns.

Common usage includes references to the author of the proposal (ehdotuksen laatija), the content or terms of the proposal (ehdotuksen sisältö, ehdotuksen ehdot), and procedures related to its consideration (ehdotuksen käsittely, ehdotuksen hyväksyminen). In parliamentary and organizational contexts, ehdotus can be synonymous with, or used alongside, esitys or aloite, though esitys is more often used for formal motions and presentations, while ehdotus emphasizes a recommended plan or course of action.

Overall, ehdotus is a versatile term for a proposed idea or plan, with ehdotuksen specifically marking the genitive form in Finnish sentences.
