kokonaislukuiseen

Kokonaislukuiseen is a Finnish adjective form derived from kokonaisluku, meaning integer or whole-number. The base adjective kokonaislukuinen describes something that relates to or consists of integers, i.e., that is integer-valued. Like other Finnish adjectives, kokonaislukuinen inflects to agree with the noun it modifies in number and case. The form kokonaislukuiseen is one inflected variant used before a noun in a specific grammatical case, such as the illative, where the modified noun appears in a directional or into-state context.

Usage and context for the term are mainly found in mathematics, computer science, and technical writing. It is employed to describe quantities, values, or properties that are integers rather than real or fractional numbers. In practical Finnish prose, it may appear in phrases such as kokonaislukuiseen muotoon or kokonaislukuiseen arvoon, where the adjective specifies that the described form or value is integer-valued.

Examples of sense and function include statements that a calculation or data representation can be converted into an integer form or that a model is fitted to an integer-valued quantity. The term serves to distinguish between whole-number values and those that include fractions or decimals, facilitating precise mathematical or computational communication.
