Kommenteihin

Kommenteihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun kommentti (comment). It denotes movement toward or into the group or space of comments, often referring to the comments section on a website or the body of user comments in online discourse. The illative case answers the question “to where?” or “into what?” and is used to indicate direction or destination.

Form and usage: Finnish expresses location and direction through cases. The illative plural suffix attaches to the stem, producing kommenteihin as the standard spelling for “to the comments.” The related inessive plural form is kommenteissa, meaning “in the comments,” while the genitive plural is kommenttien, meaning “of the comments.” In online contexts, kommenteihin is commonly used to describe actions directed at the comments or discussions that take place there.

Examples: Keskustelu siirtyi kommenteihin. (The discussion moved to the comments.) Kommentteihin voidaan vastata. (One can respond to the comments.)

Notes: The illative form is part of Finnish’s extensive system of case endings that indicate movement toward a location or target. Spelling variants and minor phonetic adjustments can occur with different stems, but kommenteihin is the standard form for “to the comments” in contemporary Finnish.
