hallituksia

Hallituksia is the partitive plural form of the Finnish noun hallitus, which commonly means "government" (as in national cabinet) or "board" (as in a company's board of directors). As a grammatical form, hallituksia is used in syntactic contexts that require the partitive plural, for example with certain verbs, quantifiers, negation, or when indicating an indefinite or partial quantity.

In political and organizational discourse, hallituksia appears when referring to multiple administrations or boards in a non-final or unspecified sense. It contrasts with the nominative plural hallitukset, which names the entities as definite subjects. Translations depend on context: hallituksia can render as "governments," "administrations," or "boards" in English, often with nuance reflecting indefiniteness or partiality.

The base word hallitus derives from the Finnish verb hallita ("to govern, to control"). Related grammatical forms include hallituksen (genitive singular), hallituksia (partitive plural), and hallitukset (nominative plural). Understanding the use of hallituksia requires familiarity with Finnish case and aspectual patterns, since the partitive signals incomplete, ongoing, or unspecified reference rather than a simple plural count.
