Letkuihin

Letkuihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun letku, meaning hose. In Finnish grammar, the illative case marks direction toward or into something, and the plural illative suffix attaches to the plural or to the stem to indicate movement toward multiple items. Therefore letkuihin is used when describing movement into or toward several hoses.

Formation and usage context: The base noun letku combines with the standard Finnish plural illative suffix, which manifests as -iin or -ihin depending on phonology; for letku the result is letkuihin. This form is typically found in technical or descriptive language, such as discussions of firefighting equipment, irrigation setups, or industrial fluid-transfer systems where multiple hoses are involved. The construction signals direction toward all hoses in the group rather than a single hose.

Examples and considerations: Letkuihin appears in sentences that describe directing or moving fluids toward multiple hoses, arranging hose connections, or referencing a bundle of hoses in use. It is a specialized case form rather than a general-purpose lexical item, and its deployment depends on a grammatical need to express plural illative meaning.
