Kolmeulotteisiin

Kolmeulotteisiin is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective kolmiulotteinen, meaning three-dimensional. It is the plural illative form, used with a plural noun to indicate movement into or orientation toward three-dimensional spaces or contexts. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun in number and case, so kolmeulotteisiin appears when the noun it modifies is plural and in the illative case (for example, tiloihin, malleihin).

Usage and context

Kolmeulotteisiin is common in discussions of architecture, interior design, computer graphics, 3D modeling, virtual reality and related fields. It appears in phrases such as kolmeulotteisiin tiloihin sijoitettavia laitteita (devices to be installed in three-dimensional spaces) or kolmeulotteisiin malleihin pohjautuva simulointi (a simulation based on three-dimensional models). The form emphasizes the spatial, volumetric aspect of objects or environments rather than flat, two-dimensional representations.

Morphology and related forms

The form is built from the base kolmiulotteinen and the suffix -in for the illative plural. Finnish adjectives inflect for number and case, so plurals in illative such as kolmeulotteisiin require a plural noun in the illative. The concept contrasts with kaksikuiulotteinen (two-dimensional) or kolmiulotteinen (three-dimensional) as the default descriptor in many technical and design contexts.

Notes

Kolmeulotteisiin is a precise, context-dependent form used in specialized discourse. In everyday language, the underlying adjective kolmiulotteinen is often encountered, with the same meaning expressed through appropriate inflection to match the noun.
