Korjaamoon

Korjaamoon is the illative singular form of the Finnish noun korjaamo, meaning a repair shop. The illative case expresses direction toward a place, roughly translating to “to/into the repair shop.” The form korjaamoon is created by adding the illative suffix -oon to the stem korjaamo; since the stem ends in -o, the result is spelled korjaamoon.

Usage and function

Korjaamoon is used with verbs of motion to indicate destination. It answers the question minne? where to? Examples: Mennä korjaamoon hakemaan autoa. (I am going to the repair shop to pick up the car.) Autoni vietiin korjaamoon. (My car was taken to the repair shop.) The illative is a key feature of Finnish noun inflection and is common in everyday language as well as in directions and service contexts.

Notes

Korjaamoon points to a physical location and is typically found in spoken Finnish, signage, and service communications. Its precise spelling reflects Finnish vowel harmony and the general pattern of illative formation for nouns ending in -o.
