kuninkaiksi

Kuninkaiksi is a Finnish word that translates to "kings" in English. It is the genitive plural form of the word "kuningas," which means "king."

In historical contexts, it would be used when discussing multiple monarchs or the lineage of kings. The concept of kingship, and thus the word "kuninkaiksi," has played a significant role in Finnish history and culture, particularly during periods when Finland was part of larger kingdoms or had its own royal structures. Understanding the nuances of Finnish grammar, such as the genitive plural, is essential for comprehending the full meaning and usage of words like "kuninkaiksi."
