sosialistisen

Sosialistisen is a Finnish adjective form meaning socialist, used to describe things related to socialism or socialist principles. It is the genitive singular form of the adjective sosialistinen, and it appears when the adjective modifies a noun in the genitive case, or when indicating possession or association before a noun, for example sosialistisen ohjelman (the socialist program) or sosialistisen liikkeen (of the socialist movement).

The base adjective sosialistinen derives from the noun sosiaalisti or more commonly from sosialismi and sosialisti, signaling belonging to or characteristic of socialism. Like other Finnish adjectives, sos socialistinen declines according to case and number, producing forms such as sosialistisen, sosialistisia, and sosialististen for different grammatical roles.

In use, sosialistisen functions to specify ideological alignment or thematic relation to socialism. It is common in political, historical, and academic writing when discussing policies, movements, parties, or ideas associated with socialism, as well as in more general descriptive contexts.

Related terms include sosiaalisti (adverbial form related to socialism), sosiaalinen (social), sosiaalismi (socialism), and sosiaalistinen as an alternative adjectival form in some contexts. The choice between sosialistinen and related terms depends on the desired nuance and the grammatical role in the sentence. Overall, sosialistisen serves as a standard inflected form in Finnish grammar for describing socialist-related concepts in the genitive singular.
