ekologisten

Ekologisten is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective ekologinen, meaning ecological or environmentally friendly. It represents the genitive plural form used when the adjective accompanies a noun in genitive plural. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun in number and case, so ekologisten appears before a noun that is itself in genitive plural, for example ekologisten tuotteiden, ekologisten periaatteiden, or ekologisten vaikutusten.

Usage examples illustrate its function. Ekologisten tuotteiden hinta refers to the price of ecological products. Ekologisten periaatteiden noudattaminen means adherence to ecological principles. Ekologisten vaikutusten arviointi involves assessing ecological impacts. In each case, the noun is in genitive plural, and ekologisten marks the corresponding adjective form.

Formality and variation. The base adjective forms are: ekologinen (singular), ekologiset (nominative plural), ekologista (partitive singular), ekologisia (partitive plural). Ekologisten specifically marks the genitive plural form and is typical in written and formal Finnish when discussing environmental or ecological topics.

Relation to broader language use. The term appears frequently in environmental policy, sustainability discourse, product labeling, and academic writing in Finnish. It is not a standalone noun; rather, it is a grammatical form that enables precise expression of possession or association with a plural set of nouns in the genitive case.
