lopullisia

Lopullisia is the plural partitive form of the Finnish adjective lopullinen, meaning final or conclusive. It describes something definitive or settled. In Finnish, adjectives agree with nouns in number and case; lopullisia is used with plural nouns in the partitive case, as in lopullisia päätöksiä (final decisions) or lopullisia tuloksia (final results). The corresponding nominative plural of the adjective is lopulliset. The genitive singular is lopullisen, the genitive plural is lopullisten, and the partitive singular is lopullista.

Etymology and form: lopullinen is built from loppu, meaning end, plus the suffix -llinen, which marks a characteristic or property. The word’s inflection follows standard Finnish adjective patterns, producing different endings for different cases and numbers. The form lopullisia specifically signals a plural noun in the partitive case, a common construction when the action or state is viewed incompletely or as an indefinite amount.

Usage: Lopullisia is widely used in legal, administrative, scientific, sports, and media contexts to denote definitive status. It can modify nouns directly, as in lopullisia päätöksiä or lopullisia sopimuksia, and appears in various sentence positions where a plural, definite end state is described. An adverbial counterpart is lopullisesti, meaning finally or definitively, used to describe actions rather than objects.

See also: lopullinen, lopullisesti. The term is part of a broader set of Finnish forms that express finality or definitiveness, often contrasted with non-final or provisional terms such as alustava (preliminary).
