Aikatauluin

Aikatauluin is a term that appears in a small number of Finnish-language texts but is not part of standard Finnish. It is generally treated as a nonstandard inflected form of aikataulu (timetable) or as a coined nonce-word used in creative writing or online discussion.

Etymology and form: The base word aikataulu means timetable or schedule. The suffix -in is not a standard ending for Finnish inflection in this context, and its appearance is typically seen as a misspelling, a dialectal variant, or an authorial choice in experimental writing. Because of this, aikatauluin does not have a stable, widely recognized meaning in Finnish.

Usage and interpretation: In published language references, aikatauluin is not defined or attested as a normative form. If it is encountered, its intended sense should be inferred from context, and it should not be assumed to reflect standard Finnish. For referring to a timetable in ordinary language, speakers use forms such as aikataulu, aikataulut, aikataulun, or aikataulussa.
