monivääristen

Moniväristen is a Finnish adjective form meaning multicolored, used as the genitive plural of monivärinen. The base word is formed from moni- (many) and väri (color) with the adjectival suffix -nen, yielding monivärinen (multicolored). In Finnish grammar, adjectives inflect for number and case; moniväristen appears when the modified noun is plural and in the genitive case. For example, moniväristen kuvioiden kankaat describes fabrics with multicolored patterns.

The term is common in descriptions of textiles, fashion, design, and art, as well as in natural descriptions where multiple colors are present. It signals a qualitative attribute of variety in color rather than a single hue. Because it is a grammatical form, moniväristen does not stand alone as a noun but functions within noun phrases, with other inflected forms of the same adjective available to match different grammatical roles (for example, moniväriset for nominative plural, monivärisiä for partitive plural).

Related terms include monivärinen (the base form meaning multicolored) and väri (color). In practice, moniväristen helps specify the color complexity of plural nouns, contributing to precise, descriptive Finnish prose and design terminology.
