valurautaisia

Valurautaisia is a Finnish word that functions as the plural partitive form of the adjective valurautainen, meaning made of cast iron or cast iron in general. The root valurauta means cast iron, and the suffix -inen turns it into an adjective describing material or composition.

In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, so valurautaisia is used when describing plural nouns in the partitive case. This form is common in descriptions, catalogs, and historical texts. For example, valurautaisia esineitä means cast-iron items, and valurautaisia astioita means cast-iron dishes or tableware.

Valurautaisia is not a standalone noun; it is an inflected adjective. Its use signals an indefinite amount or quantity of objects made from cast iron, rather than specifying a definite plural set.

Usage examples include mentions in museum catalogs or household inventories, such as a collection described as containing valurautaisia esineitä, or a kitchen stocked with valurautaisia astioita. The form illustrates how Finnish adjectives decline to match both the plurality and the partitive case of the nouns they describe.
