kausiluonteisiin

Kausiluonteinen is a Finnish adjective meaning seasonal or dependent on the season. It describes phenomena, products, or processes whose characteristics vary with the time of year. The form kausiluonteisiin is the illative plural form of the adjective, used before a plural noun in contexts that require the illative case, for example in phrases like kausiluonteisiin ilmiöihin or kausiluonteisiin tuotteisiin. In ordinary text, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case.

Etymology: The word is a compound of kausi (season) and luonteinen (characteristic, inherent), literally “seasonally characteristic.” The meaning extends from that of a seasonal or time-dependent nature.

Usage: Kausiluonteinen is common in economics, tourism, agriculture, ecology, and sociology. Examples include kausiluonteiset tulot (seasonal income), kausiluonteiset tuotteet (seasonal products), kausiluonteinen matkailu (seasonal tourism), or kausiluonteisiin ilmiöihin liittyvät sään vaihtelut (weather variations related to seasonal phenomena). The term can describe patterns, demand, production, or behavior that recur with the seasons rather than being year-round.

Declension: The base form is kausiluonteinen. Plural nominative is kausiluonteiset. Partitive singular is kausiluonteista; genitive plural is kausiluonteisten; illative plural is kausiluonteisiin. This illustrates how Finnish adjectives inflect with nouns for case and number.
