Kyselyihin

Kyselyihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun kysely, meaning survey, questionnaire, or poll. The illative case expresses direction toward something or movement into it, and the plural form kyselyihin is used when referring to more than one survey or to participation in multiple surveys. The term is common in research contexts, public opinion studies, market research, and data-collection tasks.

Formation and usage: The stem kysely combines with the plural illative suffix -ihin to form kyselyihin. It is typically used with verbs that govern the illative, such as vastata kyselyihin (to answer the surveys) or osallistua kyselyihin (to participate in the surveys). For example, Tutkimuksessa kerättiin vastauksia kyselyihin means “The study collected responses to the surveys.”

Notes: Kyselyihin should not be confused with kyselyyn (singular illative, “to the survey”) or with kyselyt (nominative plural, “surveys”). The illative plural is a grammatical form and does not, by itself, alter the basic meaning of “survey,” but it signals that the reference is to multiple surveys or to involvement in them. In formal and academic Finnish, kyselyihin appears frequently in descriptions of data-collection methods and respondent engagement.
