syntaktisista

Syntaktisista is a Finnish adjective form meaning related to grammar and syntax. It functions as a descriptive modifier used with plural nouns to talk about aspects of syntax, such as structures, phenomena, or analyses. The stem is syntaktinen (syntactic), and the suffix -ista marks agreement with a plural noun in contexts where the adjective describes multiple items.

In usage, syntaktisista commonly appears in linguistic and grammatical writing. It can be found in phrases like syntaktisista rakenteista (from syntactic structures) or syntaktisista ilmiöistä (of syntactic phenomena), where the adjective describes a plural set of nouns. The form is one of several inflected variants of syntaktinen that Finnish uses to express case and number, depending on the syntactic role in the sentence.

Syntaktisista is typical of Finnish scholarly style and reflects how Finnish adjectives agree with their nouns while conveying specific domain content. It is often contrasted with the base form syntaktinen, which would describe a singular noun, or with other case-inflected forms used for different grammatical relations. Its use signals a focus on the syntactic level of language, rather than semantic or lexical aspects, and it appears across linguistic descriptions, analyses, and educational material on syntax.
