varustuksia

Varustuksia is the partitive plural form of the Finnish noun varustus, meaning equipment, outfit or fittings. It denotes items or systems prepared for use in a particular activity, field, or environment. The term covers a broad range of meanings from personal gear to installations in a building or vehicle.

Common contexts for varustuksia include outdoor and recreational gear (retkeilyvarusteet), work equipment (työvarustukset) such as protective gear, and sports gear (urheilivarustukset). In military and maritime contexts varustus refers to weaponry and equipment issued to a unit; varustukset can denote the set of arms, clothing, and tools assigned to personnel.

In architecture and construction varustus or varustukset describes fixtures and fittings that make a space usable, such as plumbing, electrical systems and heating. The word thus crosses everyday life, professional practice and technical domains, reflecting both portable gear and installed infrastructure.

Grammatical note: varustukset is the nominative plural; varustuksia is the partitive plural, used when the quantity is indefinite or when the object appears with verbs that govern the partitive in Finnish. For translations into English, varustus is typically “equipment” or “outfit,” while varustukset can be rendered as “equipment sets,” “outfittings,” or simply “equipment.”
