Kiskoihin

Kiskoihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun kisko, which means rail or railway track. In Finnish, the illative case is used to indicate movement toward or into a location, and the plural form kiskoihin refers to “into/onto the rails” or “to the rails” in reference to more than one rail.

In everyday and technical Finnish, kiskoihin appears mainly in railway and construction contexts. It can describe actions directed at the rails, such as attaching equipment to the rails, or describe events involving movement toward or contact with the rails. The phrase is common in maintenance manuals, safety guidelines, engineering reports, and other texts dealing with track infrastructure.

Examples of typical usage include phrases like objects falling into the rails or components being fixed to the rails. The form is also found in descriptive passages about track layouts, maintenance procedures, and inspections that involve the rails as a physical element.

Kiskoihin is part of standard Finnish grammar and is built from the base noun kisko with a plural illative suffix. It contrasts with other forms like kiskot (nominal plural) and kiskoihin’s related cases (e.g., kiskoja in the partitive, kiskojen in the genitive).
