muuttumattoman

Muuttumattoman is the genitive singular form of the Finnish adjective muuttumaton, which means not changing, unchanging, or invariant. As a grammatical form, muuttumattoman is used to modify a noun in the genitive case, for example in phrases such as “muuttumattoman Jumalan opetus” (the teaching of the Immutable God) or “muuttumattoman luonnon laki” (the law of the unchanging nature). In ordinary usage, the nominative form muuttumaton is more common before a noun, while muuttumattoman appears in phrases governed by genitive syntax.

Etymology and related forms: the adjective muuttumaton is built from the root муuttu- related to muuttua (to change) with a negating/limiting suffix, yielding “not changing.” The concept is closely related to Finnish nouns such as muuttumattomuus (immutability) and to other descriptors like muuttuva (changing) and muuttuvuus (changeability). The genitive form muuttumattoman is therefore a grammatical inflection rather than a stand-alone noun.

Usage context: the word is employed in philosophy, theology, and science when describing properties that do not vary under specified conditions or within a given framework. In mathematics or natural sciences, more common terms for similar ideas include vakio (constant) or invariantti (invariant), but muuttumattoman can be used when the emphasis is on immutability within a phrase.
