Kronologiseen

Kronologiseen is the illative singular form of the Finnish adjective kronologinen, meaning chronological. It is used when the adjective modifies a noun in the illative case, typically to indicate movement toward or into a state described by the adjective. In practice, kronologiseen often appears in phrases that express “into chronological…” such as kronologiseen järjestykseen.

Common usage examples include endings with nouns like järjestys (order). For instance, a sentence might say that data can be arranged into chronological order: aineisto voidaan järjestää kronologiseen järjestykseen. The form also appears in contexts describing the manner of doing something in a time-ordered way, for example kronologisella tavalla (in a chronological manner), where the adjective agrees with a noun in the adessive or other cases.

Kronologiseen is part of Finnish grammar where -inen adjectives decline across cases. The base adjective kronologinen is derived from the concept of chronology, itself from the Greek chronos (time) and logia (study or discourse). Related terms include kronologia (chronology), kronologinen (chronological), and kronologisesti (chronologically), the latter serving as an adverb.

In summary, kronologiseen is a grammatical form used to express the illative case of “chronological,” most often seen in phrases indicating movement toward or into a chronological arrangement or state. It is a routine part of Finnish descriptive and technical writing.
