Eristetyihin

Eristetyihin is a Finnish grammatical form that translates roughly as "to the isolated ones" or "to the isolated (plural)." It is the illative plural form of the adjective eristetty, meaning isolated or separated. The form is used to indicate movement toward or placement into a location or group characterized by isolation, and it appears before plural nouns.

Morphology and usage

Eristetyihin is formed by adding the illative plural suffix -iin (sometimes realized as -ihin in phonetic contexts) to the adjective eristetty. The construction serves to link the idea of isolation to the noun it modifies, for example in phrases describing direction toward or placement into isolated spaces, groups, or sections. It is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form that fits into sentences where isolation is a defining attribute of the modified noun.

Common contexts

The term often occurs in contexts such as quarantine or confinement (eristettyihin tiloihin, into isolated rooms), security or administrative measures (eristettyihin ryhmiin, into isolated groups), or architectural descriptions (eristettyihin osiin rakennusta, into the isolated sections of a building). It may also appear in literature or policy discussions that address social or institutional isolation.
