Another example could be in relation to a group of round things, such as "bussipysäkillä odotti pyöreillä ikkunoilla varustettu bussi," meaning "a bus with round windows was waiting at the bus stop." In this instance, "pyöreillä" modifies the windows of the bus, and since windows are plural, the plural form is used.

This form highlights the characteristic of roundness applied to multiple items or entities within a specific context.
