Kuormittuneisiin

Kuormittuneisiin is a Finnish inflected form derived from the adjective or past participle kuormittunut, meaning burdened or overloaded. It is used as an illative plural form, indicating movement toward or reference to a group described as burdened. In grammar terms, kuormittuneisiin combines the stem kuormittune- with the illative plural suffix -isiin.

Morphology and formation: The base form kuormittunut describes something or someone that has become burdened. To refer to multiple burdened entities in an illative sense, the stem takes the plural illative suffix -isiin, yielding kuormittuneisiin. The form therefore signals not a single subject but a plural group perceived as burdened and targeted by an action or discussion.

Usage: Kuormittuneisiin is common in written Finnish, especially in discourse about workload, social or workplace stress, and organizational analysis. It appears in contexts where actions, pressures, or studies are described as directed toward a group of people deemed burdened. It often co-occurs with verbs such as kohdistua (to be directed at) or viitata (to refer to).

Examples:

- Päivittäinen työkuorma kohdistuu kuormittuneisiin työntekijöihin.

- Tutkimus käsittelee kuormittuneisiin opiskelijoihin kohdistuvaa stressiä.

- Keskustelussa viitataan kuormittuneisiin perheisiin, jotka tarvitsevat tukea.

Notes: Kuormittuneisiin is part of a broader set of illative plurals formed from participial or adjective stems. It is less common in everyday speech than simpler synonyms, but it remains correct and clear in formal or analytical writing.
