Kokeeseen

Kokeeseen is the illative singular form of the Finnish noun koe, meaning test or examination. In Finnish grammar, the illative case marks movement toward or entry into something, and kokeeseen is used when talking about going to or taking part in an exam. For example: "Menen kokeeseen huomenna" (I am going to the exam tomorrow) and "Olen valmistautunut kokeeseen koko viikon" (I have prepared for the exam all week).

The noun koe also appears in other cases, such as the nominative koe (the test) and the partitive koetta (some of the test). The illative form kokeeseen is one of several finite-case forms formed with the standard illative suffix -eseen after the stem. The plural illative is kokeisiin, used with references to going to multiple exams, for example "He osallistuvat kokeisiin" (They participate in the exams).

Usage notes emphasize that kokeeseen is appropriate when discussing attendance or progression toward an examination, particularly in educational contexts. It is not used for generic testing concepts in the abstract; other cases or phrases would be used to express different meanings.
