syyllisiä

Syyllisiä is a Finnish noun phrase that translates to "the guilty" or "guilty ones." It functions as the partitive plural form of syyllinen, meaning a person who is guilty or responsible for a wrongdoing. In Finnish grammar, syyllinen is a noun (and adjective); its plural nominative is syylliset, while syyllisiä is the partitive plural, used when the group is treated as an indefinite amount or as the object of a verb or preposition. The phrase appears in everyday language in contexts discussing responsibility, accusation, or legal outcomes; examples include "meidän täytyy löytää syyllisiä" (we must find the guilty ones) and "syyllisiä on useita" (there are several who are guilty). The nuance of the word can range from neutral description to judgment, depending on the surrounding context.

In Finnish popular culture, Syyllisiä has been used as a title for various works, typically invoking themes of guilt, accountability, or crime. Because it is a common noun phrase rather than a fixed title, different works may use it at different times, and there is no single canonical reference associated with the name. See also syyllinen and syyllisyys for related terms: the latter means guilt as a concept.
