termostabiileista

Termostabiileista is a Finnish term that functions as the elative plural form of the adjective ter­mostabiili (thermostable). In technical and scientific Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify, and thus ter­mostabiili can appear in elative plural as ter­mostabiileista when describing plural nouns in the elative case, for example ter­mostabiileista yhdisteistä or ter­mostabiileista proteiineista. The term is used to refer to elements, substances, or materials that retain stability at elevated temperatures, discussed in plural in texts that focus on comparative or qualitative properties.

Etymology and grammar: ter­mostabiili derives from thermo- (temperature) and stabilisointi (stability) and is common in chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science in Finnish. The elative plural suffix -ista/-istä signals “from/about” or “of” in a plural group, affecting both the adjective and the noun in a phrase. Consequently, ter­mostabiileista appears in contexts where researchers describe groups of thermostable items, such as proteins, enzymes, or compounds, in relation to experimental conditions or comparative analysis.

Usage and context: The form is primarily found in specialized texts, laboratory reports, and academic writing rather than everyday language. It helps convey that a set of items is thermostable and under discussion in the source material. Typical collocations include ter­mostabiileista proteiineista (thermostable proteins) or ter­mostabiileista yhdisteistä (thermostable compounds).
