vastauksien

Vastauksien is a Finnish noun form that functions as the genitive plural of vastaus, meaning “the answers’” or “of the answers.” It is used to indicate possession or relationship when referring to multiple answers. In neutral or formal writing, vastauksien is common in expressions about quantities, qualities, or analyses connected to a set of responses.

In practice, vastauksien appears in phrases such as vastauksien määrä (the number of the answers), vastauksien laatu (the quality of the answers), and vastauksien analyysi (the analysis of the answers). It is also used when describing data gathered from surveys, exams, or other collections of responses. The form helps specify that a property or measurement pertains to more than one answer.

Morphology and usage notes: vastauksien is formed from the stem vastaus by replacing the ending with -ien to mark genitive plural. The base nominative plural of vastaus is vastaukset, while the genitive singular is vastauksen. In many contexts, vastauksien is paired with nouns such as määrä, laatu, analyysi, or joukko to express relationships to multiple answers. It is a standard, widely accepted form in contemporary Finnish and appears across academic, statistical, and journalistic writing.
