Koepisteisiin

Koepisteisiin is a Finnish word-formation that represents the illative plural form of koepiste, a noun meaning an exam score or grade. The base koepiste is a compound of koe (test) and piste (point/score). The illative plural koepisteisiin literally means “to the exam scores” and is used when referring to movement toward or reference to multiple examination results in a sentence.

Formation and morphology: In Finnish, the illative case marks direction into or toward something, and the plural form attaches to the stem koepiste- with the suffix -isiin, yielding koepisteisiin. The exact form pattern depends on factors such as vowel harmony and the final vowel of the stem, and koepisteisiin is one of the forms that can occur under these rules.

Usage: The form is used in contexts discussing several exam scores or when the object of discussion is the concept of exam scores in the plural. For example, koepisteisiin viittaava data refers to data related to exam scores.

Language notes: koepisteisiin is not a common everyday word; it mainly appears in educational, statistical, or linguistic discussions about Finnish inflection and the illative plural. Understanding koepiste to interpret the illative plural form helps in recognizing how Finnish expresses movement toward or reference to multiple scores.
