Antenniin

Antenniin is the illative case form of the Finnish noun antenni, meaning into the antenna or to the antenna. It is used in sentences that describe movement toward or into the location of an antenna, commonly in technical or maintenance contexts involving radio or television antennas.

The word antenni is a loanword from English antenna, adopted into Finnish with the standard noun class for -ni endings. The illative suffix -iin marks direction toward a destination, so antenniin indicates action directed toward the antenna.

In practice, you might find examples such as “Asentaja astui antenniin” (The technician stepped into the antenna) or “Vie kaapeli antenniin” (Bring the cable to the antenna). The illative form contrasts with other cases that denote location without movement, such as the nominative antenni or the genitive antennin in different constructions.

Antenniin is primarily a grammatical form rather than a separate lexical concept. It appears in technical descriptions, manuals, and instructional text where movement toward an antenna is being described. While common in written Finnish, its usage is determined by context and can often be replaced by alternative expressions depending on what is being conveyed.
