monitasoisten

Monitasoisten is a Finnish adjective form meaning multi-level or multi-tiered, describing things that consist of several levels or layers. It is derived from the adjective monitasoinen, itself built from moni- (many) and taso (level) with the typical Finnish -inen ending. The form monitasoisten is the genitive plural of monitasoinen, used to modify a noun in the genitive plural (for example in phrases like monitasoisten järjestelmien, “of multi-level systems”).

Usage and contexts

Monitasoisten is commonly found in technical, organizational, architectural, and information-technology contexts, as well as in theoretical discussions involving hierarchical structures or data models. It often appears in compound phrases where the modified noun is in a case requiring the genitive, or where the whole noun phrase denotes possession or association. Examples include:

- Monitasoisten järjestelmien hallinta on haasteellista. (The management of multi-level systems is challenging.)

- Monitasoisten rakenteiden kuvaus vaatii selkeää hierarkiaa. (Describing multi-level structures requires a clear hierarchy.)

- Monitasoisten tiedonmallien suunnittelu voi parantaa tiedonjakoa. (Designing multi-level data models can improve information sharing.)

Grammar notes

In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case. monitasoisen (genitive singular), monitasoisten (genitive plural), monitasoisia (partitive plural), etc., reflect different grammatical roles of the noun within a sentence. Monitasoisten is specifically the genitive plural form, used when the noun it modifies is in genitive plural or when the noun phrase as a whole is in that case.
