kaksisuuntaisten

Kaksisuuntaisten is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective kaksisuuntainen, meaning two-way or bidirectional. Specifically, kaksisuuntaisten is the genitive plural form used when the adjective modifies a plural noun in the genitive case. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they describe in number and case, so the form changes according to the noun’s role in the sentence.

In practical use, kaksisuuntaisten appears in noun phrases such as two-way roads or bridges, particularly in formal or technical contexts. For example, kaksisuuntaisten teiden means “of two-way roads,” and kaksisuuntaisten siltojen means “of two-way bridges.” The corresponding nominative plural form is kaksisuuntaiset (for example, kaksisuuntainen tie becomes kaksisuuntaiset tiet in the nominative plural).

Kaksisuuntaisten is commonly found in planning, engineering, legal, or regulatory language where descriptions of traffic directions or system properties are needed. It can occur in compounds and phrases that define features, rules, or classifications related to bidirectional elements. In everyday Finnish, the base form kaksisuuntainen is more frequently used before nouns (a two-way road: kaksisuuntainen tie), while kaksisuuntaisten appears when the noun phrase is in the genitive case or part of a larger grammatical construction.
