oikeudellisten

Oikeudellisten is the genitive plural form of the Finnish adjective oikeudellinen, meaning "legal" or "juridical." It is not a standalone noun; it functions to modify another noun in the genitive case, indicating relation to law or legal matters.

Morphology and usage: Finnish adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify. The base form is oikeudellinen (singular). The nominative plural is oikeudelliset. The genitive plural, used before a genitive noun, is oikeudellisten, as in oikeudellisten asioiden ratkaiseminen ("the resolution of legal matters") or oikeudellisten elinten päätökset ("decisions of legal bodies").

Usage and scope: The form appears primarily in formal or legal language, including regulatory texts, court documents, academic writing on law, and policy discussions. It conveys a sense of law-related aspects rather than general or everyday usage.

Translation and interpretation: In English, oikeudellinen is usually rendered as "legal" or "juridical." Oikeudellisten is the genitive plural form, so translations depend on the noun it modifies (for example, "of legal matters" when placed before a genitive noun).

Related terms: The broader concept is tied to Finnish legal vocabulary, with related words such as oikeus (law), oikeushenkilö (legal entity/person), and other juridical compounds formed with the suffix -ellinen.
