Lannoitteeseen

Lannoitteeseen is the illative singular form of the Finnish noun lannoite, meaning fertilizer. It marks direction toward or into the fertilizer, as in actions where something is poured into or mixed with the substance. The illative suffix in this form is -eeseen, producing lannoitteeseen from the stem lannoite. The corresponding plural illative is lannoitteisiin.

In use, lannoitteeseen appears with verbs that describe moving into or incorporating substances, such as pouring, mixing, or dissolving. For example: Sekoita vettä lannoitteeseen means “Mix water into the fertilizer.” Lisää mikroravinteita lannoitteeseen means “Add micronutrients to the fertilizer.” The form helps specify the target of the action, namely the fertilizer as a whole or a specific portion of it.

Lannoitteeseen is commonly encountered in agricultural, gardening, and chemical contexts in Finnish. It contrasts with other cases of lannoite, such as lannoitteen (genitive) or lannoites, depending on sentence structure. Understanding the illative form is part of grasping how Finnish expresses movement toward a substance and the role of case endings in indicating direction and destination.
