Luokkatasoon

Luokkatasoon is the illative form of the Finnish noun luokkataso, which means grade level or class level. It is used to indicate movement toward or targeting a specific grade level in a sentence. The base term luokkataso combines luokka (class) and taso (level), and the illative suffix -on expresses direction: “to the grade level.”

In Finnish grammar, illative forms signal destination or direction, so luokkatasoon appears in contexts where something is intended for or directed at a particular grade level. It is common in educational writing, curricula, and policy texts when specifying which level a material, activity, or goal is meant for.

Context and usage in education: Luokkataso is used to describe the level at which instruction is appropriate, typically corresponding to a specific grade in primary and secondary education. In peruskoulu, for example, learning objectives, materials, and assessments are often categorized by luokkataso to align with students’ age and readiness. The illative form luokkatasoon therefore helps express that a resource or plan targets that particular level.

Related forms include luokkatasossa (in the grade level), luokkatasosta (from the grade level), luokkatasolle (onto the grade level), and luokkatasoksi (as or into the grade level). These forms reflect Finnish case system and are used to describe location, origin, destination, or role relative to a grade level.
