Erityisluonteiseen

Erityisluonteiseen is the illative singular form of the Finnish adjective erityisluonteinen, which means “of special nature” or “peculiar in character.” It is used with a noun in the illative case to express entering into or toward a state described by that quality, or to describe something in relation to that state within illative syntax.

Etymology and morphology: The term is a compound built from eritys- (special) and luonteinen (of nature/character). In Finnish, adjectives ending in -inen take the illative singular ending -iseen, so erityisluonteinen becomes erityisluonteiseen in illative form. The base lemma of the form is erityisluonteinen; erityisluonteiseen is a inflected variant used in specific grammatical contexts.

Usage: The illative form erityisluonteiseen appears primarily in formal or written Finnish, including legal, academic, or descriptive prose. It is used to qualify a noun in the illative case, for example in phrases such as into a state described as special in nature. It is less common in everyday spoken language, where simpler phrasing may be preferred.

Related forms and concepts: The corresponding genitive is erityisluonteisen, the partitive is erityisluonteista, etc. The noun form erityisluonne refers to “a special nature/character,” while erityisluonteinen describes something possessing that quality. The illative form particularly appears when the sentence grammar requires a directional or state-directed nuance toward that quality.
