Käyttämättömiin

Käyttämättömiin is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the adjective käyttämätön, meaning unused or not used. It is the illative plural form, a case and number combination used in Finnish to indicate movement toward multiple items or places. In practical terms, käyttämättömiin appears when a noun in the illative plural is modified by the adjective, for example when referring to “into the unused [things/places].”

Morphology and usage details: The form is created by taking the stem associated with käyttämätön and attaching the illative plural suffix -iin, resulting in käyttämättömiin. This construction is used only with a following noun that is in the illative plural, such as vaikka varastoihin (storages into which something is moved) or tiloihin (into spaces). Because the illative expresses direction, käyttämättömiin typically appears in phrases describing movement toward unused items or spaces, rather than as a standalone word.

Typical contexts: Käyttämättömiin is common in texts discussing inventory, storage, or resource management, where there is a distinction between used and unused items or spaces. It can also appear in architectural or organizational contexts when indicating areas designated for unutilized assets.

Examples:

- Osa tavaroista on siirretty käyttämättömiin varastoihin.

- Käyttämättömiin tiloihin sijoitetut esineet on inventoroitava.

Notes: Käyttämättömiin is primarily a grammatical form rather than a word with independent lexical meaning beyond “unused,” and its meaning is determined by the noun it modifies. See also Finnish grammar and the illative case.
