keksijöiden

Keksijöiden is the genitive plural of the Finnish noun keksijä, meaning "inventor." It translates roughly as "of the inventors" and is used to indicate possession or association with a group of inventors within a sentence or in compound names.

In Finnish, keksijä is an agent noun formed from the verb keksiä, "to invent." The nominative plural is keksijät, and the genitive plural is keksijöiden. The form keksijöiden functions as a possessive/genitive construction and appears in phrases such as keksijöiden piirissä ("in inventor circles"). It can also appear at the start of a proper noun in a possessive sense, for example in hypothetical names like Keksijöiden liitto ("Inventors' Union"), though such a name would be a coined or context-specific entity rather than a general rule.

Usage notes: As a standalone word, Keksijöiden is not meaningful without additional context. It is primarily a grammatical inflection used to link to a noun of possession within larger phrases. It is distinguished from the nominative "keksijät" (inventors) and the singular genitive "keksijän" (of the inventor).
