taisteluita

Taisteluita is a Finnish noun meaning battles or fights. It is the plural, partitive form of taistelu, and is used when referring to multiple engagements rather than a single clash. In historical and military writing it denotes a series of battles within a campaign, and it can also be used metaphorically to describe struggles in politics, sports, or other fields.

In Finnish grammar, taisteluita is the partitive plural form. The base taistelu refers to a battle, while the nominative plural is taistelut. Taisteluita is used with indefinite quantities or in clauses requiring the partitive, for example, “monia taisteluita käytiin” (many battles were fought) or “Toisen maailmansodan taisteluita” (World War II battles).

Taisteluita contrasts with taistelu (singular) and taistelut (nominative plural); taisteluita emphasizes the breadth of fighting rather than naming specific battles. It appears in history writing, military analysis, and narrative accounts of conflicts, and can also occur in metaphorical uses to describe major struggles in non-military contexts.
