suosituimpien

Suosituimpien is a Finnish grammatical form used to express “of the most popular [ones].” It is the genitive plural form of the superlative adjective suosituimmat, which means “the most popular.” In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, so when the noun is in genitive plural, the adjective takes the genitive plural ending as well, yielding -ien.

Usage and examples

Suosituimpien appears in phrases where a noun is in genitive plural. Examples include: “suosituimpien kirjojen myynti” (the sales of the most popular books), “suosituimpien tuotteiden valikoima” (the range of the most popular products), and “suosituimpien hakusanojen tilastot” (the statistics of the most popular search terms). The construction is typical in descriptive writing, market reports, and lists that compare items by popularity.

Notes on form

This is not a standalone word but a grammatical inflection of the superlative adjective. The base word is suosittu (popular); the superlative is suosituin (the most popular), with corresponding plural forms: nominative suosituimmat, and genitive plural suosituimpien. The form soosituimpien appears specifically when the modified noun is in the genitive plural.

Relation to Finnish grammar

Suosituimpien illustrates Finnish adjective agreement and the use of the genitive case to indicate possession, association, or classification within a phrase. It is commonly encountered in written Finnish and is part of standard ways to discuss rankings or groups defined by popularity.
