seksuaalista

Seksuaalista is a Finnish adjective form meaning "sexual" used to describe nouns in the partitive case. It is the partitive singular form of the adjective seksuaalinen, which agrees with the noun it modifies. Because Finnish adjectives decline for case and number, seksuaalista appears in sentences where the object is in the partitive, such as seksuaalista sisältöä (sexual content) or seksuaalista terveyttä (sexual health).

The form is mainly a grammatical construct, not a standalone concept. It is used to specify that something relates to sexuality. The corresponding neutral base form is seksuaalinen; the adverb for describing actions in a sexual manner is seksuaalisesti. Common contexts for its use include discussions of education, health, law, and media guidelines, where phrases like seksuaalikasvatus (sex education), seksuaaliterveys (sexual health), and seksuaalinen häirintä (sexual harassment) appear.

Etymologically, seksuaalinen is a loanword adapted to Finnish morphology, built from the stem seksuaali-, which reflects international roots related to sexuality and sex. The word and its inflected forms are widespread in everyday language as well as in academic and policy contexts.

See also: seksuaalinen, seksuaalisesti, seksuaalisuus. This term illustrates how Finnish uses inflection to convey grammatical relationships and how related words form a network around the concept of sexuality in the language.
