Asuinhuoneisiin

Asuinhuoneisiin is a Finnish illative plural form of the noun asuinhuone, meaning “into the living rooms” or “to the living rooms.” The term is used to indicate movement toward multiple living spaces or location relative to them, typically in directional or descriptive sentences.

Asuinhuone is a compound noun formed from asua (to live) and huone (room), referring to a room used for dwelling. The illative plural form is created by adding the suffix -iin to the plural stem asuinhuoneet, producing asuinhuoneisiin. The corresponding singular illative is asuinhuoneeseen, and the nominative plural is asuinhuoneet. This morphological pattern is part of Finnish case and number agreement, which guides how the word changes in different grammatical roles.

Usage of asuinhuoneisiin appears mainly in more formal or technical texts, such as architectural plans, real estate descriptions, property regulations, or legal language, where precise directional or locational information is needed. It can also appear in descriptive passages that discuss moving into or accessing multiple residential rooms.

Examples:

- Portaat johtavat asuinhuoneisiin. (The stairs lead to the living rooms.)

- Saneerauksen aikana asuinhuoneisiin tehtiin useita muutoksia. (During the renovation, several changes were made to the living rooms.)

- Kävellessämme asuinhuoneisiin huoneiston ovia suojaavat verhoilut. (As we walked into the living rooms, the apartment’s doors were protected by coverings.)

In everyday Finnish, speakers may use more common terms such as asuntorakenteita, huoneistoja, tai olohuoneet, but asuinhuoneisiin appears in contexts requiring formal or technical wording.
