Ekraanikuvaan

Ekraanikuvaan is the illative form of the Finnish noun ekraanikuva, which means a screenshot or screen capture. In Finnish grammar, illative forms indicate direction toward or into something, so ekraanikuvaan translates roughly as "into a screenshot" or "to a screenshot."

Ekraanikuva is a compound of ekraan (screen) and kuva (image). The illative suffix -an is added to form ekraanikuvaan. The word is used where the sentence requires stating movement toward a screenshot or placing something into a screenshot.

Usage: The form appears mainly in linguistic descriptions and in technical writing that discusses actions involving screenshots. In everyday language, speakers typically use the base noun ekraanikuva or synonyms such as kuvakaappaus (also kuvakappaus) to refer to a screenshot, rather than inflecting to the illative.
