nopeakasvuisiin

Nopeakasvuisiin is the illative plural form of the Finnish adjective nopeakasvuinen, meaning “fast-growing.” In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, and the suffix -iin marks the illative plural, indicating movement into or toward something described by the adjective. Therefore nopeakasvuisiin functions as a modifier before a plural noun in the illative case.

Usage and examples: Nopeakasvuisiin is used when referring to fast-growing items in a sentence that requires an illative plural noun phrase. Examples include phrases such as nopeakasvuisiin kasveihin (“into fast-growing plants”) or nopeakasvuisiin ryhmiin (“into fast-growing groups”). The form is not a standalone noun; it is a grammatical inflection that accompanies a plural noun in illative.

Context and meaning: The term appears mainly in botanical, agricultural, or ecological texts to categorize or discuss organisms, varieties, or groups characterized by rapid growth. It can describe crop cultivars selected for quick height or biomass accumulation or reference groups of species with accelerated growth under certain conditions. The exact interpretation depends on the accompanying noun.

Related forms: The base adjective is nopeakasvuinen (singular). Finnish adjectives decline to match both number and case, so other forms exist for different grammatical roles (e.g., nomitive, partitive, genitive, and other cases) with corresponding noun phrases.
