intensiivisten

Intensiivisten is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the genitive plural of the adjective intensiivinen, meaning intensive or high in intensity. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, so intensiivinen becomes intensiivisten when used with a plural noun in genitive.

The form appears in noun phrases describing a category or type of things. For example, intensiivisten kurssien aikataulu means the schedule of intensive courses, and intensiivisten harjoitusten suunnitelma refers to the plan for intensive exercises. In such phrases, the noun (kurssien, harjoitusten) is in genitive plural, and the adjective aligns as intensiivisten.

Related forms include intensiiviset, the nominative plural, which would describe multiple intensive items without the genitive relationship, and intensiivinen, the base singular form. The adverb form is intensiivisesti. The word derives from the stem intensiiv- with the Finnish adjective suffix -inen, while the genitive plural suffix -isten marks the grammatical case and number.

Intensiivisten does not denote a standalone concept or organization; it is a grammatical form used in descriptive, academic, or administrative Finnish to characterize plural nouns in genitive. Its usage is typical in formal writing, reports, and instructions where a distinction of type (intensive) is required for a group of items.
