kokeellisia

Kokeellisia is a Finnish adjective form meaning "experimental" or "characterized by experimentation." It is used to describe things that involve trying new ideas, methods, or materials and that are not yet proven or established. In neutral use, kokeellisia highlights an exploratory or provisional nature rather than final, conclusive results.

The form kokeellisia is the plural partitive form of the adjective kokeellinen. It is typically placed before a noun in the partitive case, as in kokeellisia ideoita (experimental ideas) or kokeellisia menetelmiä (experimental methods). Examples of common collocations include kokeellisia elokuvia (experimental films), kokeellisia taiteen muotoja (experimental forms of art), and kokeellisia tutkimusmenetelmiä (experimental research methods). In journalistic, scientific, or artistic writing, kokeellisia signals openness to new approaches and a willingness to test novel concepts.

In Finnish discourse, kokeellisia often appears in discussions of research, technology, and culture when traditional approaches are being challenged or extended. The term can carry either positive connotations—innovative, cutting-edge work—or critical nuance, suggesting that results are uncertain or preliminary. It is closely related to kokeellisuus (the quality or state of being experimental) and to kokeellinen (the adjective in its singular form) and contrasts with more established or traditional expressions.
