Haluttuun

Haluttuun is a Finnish grammatical form, not a separate concept. It is the illative singular form of the participial adjective haluttu, meaning "desired" or "wanted." In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the nouns they modify, and the illative case indicates movement toward or direction to something, often translated as “to the …” or “toward the ….”

Usage and examples:

- haluttuun lopputulokseen means “to the desired outcome.”

- haluttuun suuntaan means “in the desired direction.”

These phrases show how haluttuun combines the meaning of “desired” with a noun in illative case to express goal-oriented movement or focus.

Formation:

- haluttu, the past participle of haluta (to want), serves as the base.

- The illative singular suffix -uun is attached to the stem, yielding haluttuun.

Context:

Haluttuun appears mainly in formal or planning contexts, such as goals, targets, or objectives. It helps specify a direction or aim that is regarded as desirable. The form is part of standard Finnish grammar and demonstrates how adjectives extend their meaning through case endings.
