ekologistiset

Ekologistiset is not a widely established term in Finnish-language reference works. In standard usage, the common adjective for ecology is ekologinen, and its plural form ekologistiset would only occur as an inflected form in very rare or highly specialized texts. More often one would use ekologiset to describe ecological things (for example, ekologiset kysymykset or ekologiset näkökulmat). The form ekologistiset is thus typically seen as an uncommon inflection or as a coined, context-driven construction rather than as a distinct, recognized concept.

Etymology and form: The construction would be based on the root ekologi (ecology) with the typical Finnish adjective ending -inen in its base form, yielding ekologistinen in theory. The plural nominative form of such an adjective would then be ekologistiset. However, ekologistinen is not standard Finnish, and ekologistiset is not a standard headword in dictionaries. In practice, Finnish speakers are more likely to encounter or use ekologiset, or ecologist-related compounds such as ecologist-led or ecologi-based formulations, if they intend to emphasize an ecologist-centric perspective.

Usage considerations: If ekologistiset appears in a text, its meaning should be inferred from context, or the phrase should be rephrased to a standard form to avoid ambiguity. Prefer more common expressions such as ekologiset (ecological) or ecologiakeskeiset/ekologiapohjaiset (ecologist-centered, ecologist-based) when aiming for clarity.
