Laajuisiin

Laajuisiin is a Finnish word form that functions as the illative plural of the adjective laajuinen, meaning extensive, wide, or large in scope. It is used when describing plural nouns in the illative case, indicating movement toward or into those objects or circumstances.

In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. For adjectives ending in -inen, the illative plural takes the ending -iin on the stem laajuis-, producing laajuisiin. The corresponding singular illative form is laajuiseen, and the plural nominative form is laajuiset.

Examples include: Laajoihin projekteihin panostaminen on keskeinen osa ohjelmaa, meaning investment into large-scale projects is a central part of the program. Tutkimus tarkastelee laajuisiin mittakaavoihin liittyviä haasteita, meaning the study examines challenges related to broad scales.

Related terms include laajuus (extent, breadth) and laajamittainen (large-scale). Laajuisiin is primarily a grammatical form used in phrases with a plural noun in illative case; it does not stand alone as a separate lexical item, but functions within inflected adjective-noun constructions. The form reflects Finnish patterns of adjective declension and helps convey the sense of scope when directing attention toward expansive objects or contexts.
