kipujen

Kipujen is a Finnish noun form that functions as the genitive plural of kipu, meaning pain or ache. It is used to refer to multiple pains or to indicate possession or association with pain in phrases.

Finnish nouns have several plural forms. For kipu, the nominative plural is kiput, the partitive plural is kipuja, and the genitive plural is kipujen. The genitive plural kipujen is used when the noun is the object of a genitive relation, as in kipujen hoito (the treatment of pains) or kipujen syyt (the causes of pains).

In medical and academic Finnish, kipujen frequently appears in discussions of symptoms, chronic pain, and research on pain management. It often co-occurs with descriptors and compounds that specify the type or duration of pain, and it commonly appears in policy, patient information, and educational texts about health.

Examples include:

- Kipujen hoitoa tarvitaan kroonisen kivun hallinnassa. (The treatment of pains is needed in managing chronic pain.)

- Kipujen syyt voivat olla moninaiset. (The causes of pains can be diverse.)

- Potilaat reporttivat kipujen lisääntymisestä illalla. (Patients reported an increase in pains in the evening.)

Overall, kipujen is a standard grammatical form used to discuss multiple pains in Finnish, especially in formal or clinical contexts. It contrasts with kipuja (partitive plural) and kiput (nominative plural) in its grammatical role.
