Kuoletukseen

Kuoletukseen is a Finnish term that translates to "to death" or "to dying." It is a grammatical case form in Finnish, specifically the translative case, which indicates a transformation or a change into something else. In the context of death, kuoletukseen signifies a transition or movement towards the state of being dead. It is often used in phrases that describe someone succumbing to an illness, injury, or other cause of death. For example, one might say a person "kuoli sairauteensa" meaning "died of their illness," where "sairauden" is the genitive form of "sairaus" (illness) and "kuoli" is the past tense of "kuolla" (to die). The translative case itself, however, is not directly used with the verb "kuolla" in this sense. Rather, "kuoletukseen" as a standalone concept refers to the destination or end point of the process of dying. It highlights the shift from a living state to a deceased one. The term can appear in various contexts, from medical reports to literary descriptions, always emphasizing the finality of death as a state of being.
