fysiologisia

Fysiologisia is the partitive plural form of the Finnish adjective fysiologinen, which means physiologic or relating to physiology. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, and the partitive plural form fysiologisia is used when referring to multiple physiological phenomena, processes, or concepts that are not entirely definite. The term is common in scientific and academic Finnish.

Etymology and meaning: fysiologinen derives from fysiologia (physiology), from Latin physiology and ultimately from Greek physis (nature) and logos (study). As an adjective, fysiologinen describes things connected with the functions of living organisms, such as organs, systems, and bodily processes. The plural form fysiologisia is used with plural nouns in the partitive case, for example, fysiologisia ilmiöitä (physiological phenomena), fysiologisia reaktioita (physiological reactions), or fysiologisia tutkimuksia (physiological studies).

Usage: Fysiologisia is typically found in scientific, medical, and biology-related texts. It contrasts with other related categories, such as psykologisia (psychological) or patologisia (pathological), to specify that a topic concerns normal bodily function rather than mental processes or disease. The corresponding adverb is fysiologisesti (physiologically), and the base adjective is fysiologinen (physiological).
