suhteiden

Suhteiden is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun suhde, which typically translates as relationship or relation. The form is used to express possession or association with multiple relationships, as in phrases like suhteiden hallinta (management of relationships) or suhteiden kehittäminen (development of relationships).

Finnish distinguishes between personal relationships—such as perhesuhteet (family relationships) and ystävyyssuhteet (friendships)—and more abstract or institutional relations, such as kansainväliset suhteet (international relations) or yhteiskunnalliset suhteet (social relations). In professional contexts, terms like työsuhteet (employment relationships) or liiketoimintasuhteet (business relationships) are common.

In scholarly and technical writing, suhde or suhteet can also denote a mathematical or logical relation. The plural suhteet appears in definitions and discussions of relations between elements, with the genitive plural suhteen? or suhteiden used in phrases such as suhteiden määrittely (definition of relations) or suhteiden analyysi (analysis of relations).

The term suhdteiden is widely used in Finnish media, education, and public discourse to describe how people, groups, organizations, or states interact and influence one another. It serves as a general concept across disciplines—from sociology and politics to mathematics and linguistics—reflecting both concrete interpersonal ties and more abstract connectivities.
