saksankielisen

saksankielisen is a Finnish adjective meaning "German-speaking". It is used to describe a person, place, or thing that is related to or characteristic of the German language or German speakers. For example, "saksankielisen kirjailijan" translates to "a German-speaking author". The word is derived from "saksa" (Germany) and "kieli" (language), with the "-n" and "-isen" being grammatical endings.

This term can refer to individuals who are native speakers of German, or those who have learned and use the language proficiently. It can also describe contexts where German is the primary language of communication, such as a "saksankielisen elokuvan" (a German-speaking film) or a "saksankielisen yliopiston" (a German-speaking university). In a broader sense, it might also allude to aspects of culture or society that are associated with German-speaking populations. The adjective is inflected according to the grammatical case and number of the noun it modifies in a Finnish sentence.
