täysien

Täysien is the genitive plural form of the Finnish adjective täysi, meaning full or complete. It is used when the adjective modifies a plural noun in the genitive case, typically in noun phrases that express quantity or possession. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case; when the noun phrase is in the genitive plural and the adjective comes before the noun, the adjective takes a genitive plural ending. Täysien is therefore a standard form in formal or written Finnish for such constructions.

Usage of täysien occurs especially in expressions describing quantities or classifications of plural items. For example, in a phrase like täysien ruokien määrä, the adjective täysi contributes meaning to the plural noun ruokien (genitive plural of ruoka, meaning meals or foods), and the whole construction means “the amount of full meals.” Other possible contexts include phrases like täysien päivien suunnittelu or täysien elintarvikkeiden varastot, where täysien describes the plural nouns in genitive.

Etymology and form: täysi is an old Finnish adjective meaning full or complete, and its inflected form changes to match the case and number of the noun it modifies. The genitive plural form täysien is characteristic of adjectives in this position and mirrors similar patterns seen with other adjectives in genitive plural, such as hyvien or suurien in appropriate contexts. The exact ending can vary with different adjective stems, but täysien is the established form for this particular adjective when used with genitive plural nouns.
