Intentioihin

Intentioihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun intentio, a scholarly loanword derived from Latin meaning “intention” or “the content of a mental act.” In Finnish philosophy and linguistics, intentio denotes the intentional content or aim toward which a mental state or action is directed, rather than merely a practical purpose.

The term is mainly encountered in academic discourse. In everyday Finnish, tarkoitus is the more common word for “intention,” while intentio has a more specialized sense connected to theories of mind, semantics, and phenomenology. The plural illative form intentioihin would be used when discussing multiple intents or instances of intentional content within a broader argument.

Etymology and usage context:intentio comes from Latin and has been incorporated into Finnish scholarly language to discuss ideas such as what mental acts are about or aim at. When Finnish texts translate or adapt discussions of intentionality, intentio may appear as a close technical equivalent to the English term “intentional content” or “intentionality,” depending on the author and field of study.
