tekniset

Tekniset is a Finnish adjective and, in some contexts, a nominal form used to describe things connected with technology, engineering, or methods. The term is derived from tekninen, meaning technical, and is commonly used to form compound expressions in everyday and technical language.

In Finnish grammar, tekniset is the plural nominative form of tekninen and agrees with the noun it describes. It appears in phrases such as tekniset ratkaisut (technical solutions), tekniset tiedot (technical specifications), tekniset laitteet (technical devices), and tekniset standardit (technical standards). The word is widely used across sectors including information technology, manufacturing, construction, academia, and public administration to distinguish technical aspects from non-technical content.

Usage and nuance: tekniset typically refers to concrete, observable attributes, components, procedures, or equipment related to technology or technical processes. It is often contrasted with more general terms like tekninen, which can have a broader or non-specific sense, or teknologia, which denotes technology as a field. In documentation, tekniset tiedot or tekniset vaatimukset indicate requirements or specifications that are primarily technical in nature.

See also: tekninen kieli (technical language), tekniikka (engineering/techniques), teknologia (technology). While tekniset serves mainly as a descriptor within technical vocabulary, it functions as a productive basis for a wide range of compound terms in Finnish.
