kiinteitä

Kiinteitä is the plural partitive form of the Finnish adjective kiinteä. The form is used before a noun in the partitive case, typically referring to an indefinite amount or set of fixed, solid, or tangible things. Kiinteä itself has several related senses, and kiinteitä appears in many contexts without implying a single fixed concept.

In science and everyday language, kiinteitä commonly describes solids or substances in the state of matter.

Kiinteitä is not a stand-alone noun; it is an inflected form of kiinteä used to modify nouns
