eripituisista

Eripituisista is a Finnish adjective phrase meaning “of varying length” or “varying in length.” It is formed from eri- (different) and pituus (length) with the standard adjectival suffix -inen, and the inflectional ending -ista used in common phrases. The form eripituisista appears when the adjective is inflected to modify a noun in plural or in certain cases, for example in phrases describing multiple items with different lengths. In practice, eripituisista describes things that do not share a uniform length, rather than a single fixed length.

The term is used across several domains in written Finnish. In linguistics or rhetoric, it may be used to discuss sentences, clauses, or other textual elements that display a range of lengths. In media and design contexts, eripituisista can describe collections of clips, panels, or components that vary in duration or size. In data presentation or measurement, it can refer to data points, samples, or measurements that come from a set with non-uniform lengths or durations.

Usage notes: as with many Finnish descriptors, eripituisista must agree with the noun it modifies in number and case. The base form eripituisinen flips to eripituiset in the plural when needed, and eripituisista appears in cases where the speaker intends a plural, case-marked phrase.
