Digitaalisisiin

Digitaalisisiin is a Finnish inflected form that functions as the illative plural of the adjective digitaalisinen (digital). It is used with plural nouns to express movement toward or entry into digital things, such as services, environments, or concepts. In texts about digital transformation, you frequently encounter phrases like digitaalisiin palveluihin or digitaalisiin ympäristöihin.

Formation and usage: The form is built from the stem digitaalis- plus the illative plural suffix -isiin, yielding digitaalisisiin. It typically accompanies plural nouns in the illative case, for example: digitaalisiin palveluihin, digitaalisiin työkaluihin, digitaalisiin prosesseihin. The construction is common in formal or technical contexts, including information technology, public administration, and policy language.

Notes on meaning: Digitaalisisiin is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form that conveys direction toward digital items. It contrasts with the inessive form digitaalisissa, meaning “in the digital,” and with the nominative plural digitaaliset, meaning “the digital [ones/things]” in a non-inflected context. The form is part of standard Finnish grammar and is widely attested in contemporary writing about digitalization.

Examples: Organisaatio siirtyi digitaalisiin palveluihin. Koulutusohjelma keskittyy digitaalisiin työkaluihin. Hanke tähtää digitaalisisiin prosesseihin liittyviin parannuksiin.
