teknisiä

Teknisiä is the plural partitive form of the Finnish adjective tekninen, meaning technical or technological. It is used to describe plural nouns in contexts where the object is treated as an indefinite, partial, or non-complete set, or when the action involves an indefinite amount of technical items or concepts. For example, teknisiä laitteita means technical devices, teknisiä ratkaisuja means technical solutions, and teknisiä ongelmia means technical problems.

In Finnish grammar, adjectives of the -inen class form the partitive plural ending -isiä when modifying a plural noun in the partitive, as in teknisiä laitteita or teknisiä ratkaisuja. This inflection pattern is common for words related to technology, science, and industry, and it helps signal a non-specific quantity or scope of the described technical thing.

Usage notes: teknisiä typically appears in noun phrases and technical or professional writing. It is not usually used as a stand-alone predicate; rather, it modifies a noun to specify that the noun is technical in nature. The term is widely used in fields such as information technology, engineering, manufacturing, and research when discussing equipment, methods, or concepts with a technical character.

Etymology and related forms: tekninen is a native Finnish adjective formed with the -inen suffix to denote belonging or relation to technique. The word conveys the sense of technology or applied science, and teknisiä is simply its inflected form used with plural nouns in the partitive. Related terms in Finnish include tekninen (singular), teknisesti (technically), and teknologia (technology).
