moninaisilla

Moninaisilla is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the adessive plural form of the adjective moninainen, which means diverse, varied, or of many kinds. The form is used to indicate heterogeneity or a range of different elements when referring to a plural noun. In practice, moninaisilla signals that the noun it modifies is composed of multiple kinds, categories, or members.

Morphology and usage

In Finnish, adjectives decline for number and case. The plural nominative form of moninainen is moninaiset, and when combined with the adessive case it becomes moninaisilla. This yields meanings such as “on diverse ones,” “at diverse places,” or more naturally “in many different …” depending on the noun that follows. Moninaisilla is therefore a flexible modifier in plural constructions.

Examples

- Moninaisilla kielillä teksti voi kuulostaa erilaiselta. (In many different languages, the text may sound different.)

- Moninaisilla ihmisillä on erilaisten näkemyksiä. (Among diverse people there are various viewpoints.)

- Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin moninaisilla ilmaisutavoilla esitettyjä argumentteja. (The study examined arguments presented with a variety of expression methods.)

Notes

Moninaisilla is not a fixed concept or proper noun. It is a standard grammatical inflected form used to emphasize diversity or plurality in the described noun. It commonly appears in academic, journalistic, and descriptive Finnish to highlight heterogeneity across languages, groups, methods, or examples.
