Liikkeellisiin

Liikkeellisiin is the illative plural form of the Finnish adjective liikkeellinen, meaning movement-related or kinetic. The base liike means movement, and the suffix -ellinen forms an adjective indicating a quality, so liikkeellinen denotes something that has to do with movement. When describing multiple nouns in the illative case (into/onto something), the adjective takes the illative plural ending -iin, producing liikkeellisiin. This form is typically found in phrases where movement-related categories or targets are being specified.

In practice, liikkeellisiin is used before a plural noun in the illative case. For example, kohteet jaettiin liikkeellisiin ryhmiin (“the targets were divided into motion-related groups”), and tutkittiin liikkeellisiin tiloihin liittyviä ilmiöitä (“phenomena related to kinetic spaces”). These constructions illustrate how the illative plural form of the adjective modifies a plural noun phrase to indicate movement-related classification or direction.

Usage notes: liikkeellisiin is primarily a descriptive or technical term seen in academic, scientific, or analytic Finnish. It does not stand alone as a noun; it functions as an adjective within a larger noun phrase, agreeing with the case and number of the noun it modifies. The concept is tied to the root liike (movement) and to the Finnish adjective-forming suffix -ellinen, with the illative plural ending -iin.
