lopputulosten

Lopputulosten is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun lopputulos, which means the final result or end result. As such, lopputulosten translates roughly to “of the final results” and is used when referring to multiple outcomes or to the results in a possessive or descriptive sense within a larger sentence.

In usage, lopputulosten appears in contexts where the final outcomes are being discussed, reported, or analyzed. This includes sports competitions, scientific studies, audits, or elections, where a set of final results is presented or evaluated. It often appears in constructions such as the publication or presentation of those results, for example lopputulosten julkistaminen (the publication of the final results) or seuraavat lopputulosten perusteella (based on the final results).

Lopputulos and lopputulokset are the corresponding singular and nominative plural forms, while lopputulosten is specifically the genitive plural form. Finnish syntax relies on cases to indicate the relationship between nouns; thus lopputulosten is used when the phrase functions as a dependent element in a larger noun phrase, such as describing ownership or association with another noun.

In summary, lopputulosten is a grammatical form used in Finnish to refer to the final results of a process or event when describing or attributing those results within a sentence. It is a standard term in formal reporting, journalism, and academic writing. See also lopputulos, lopputulokset, and related terms like tulos and lopullinen.
