Lähetyksiin

Lähetyksiin is Finnish and represents the illative plural form of the noun lähetys. In Finnish, illatives express movement toward or into a destination, and the plural form -iin is used when the destination is multiple or refers to several targets. Thus lähetyksiin literally means “into the missions” or “to the missions,” depending on context.

The word lähetys has several related but distinct meanings. It can denote a religious mission or missionary activity (lähetykset, lähetyystyö). It can also mean a broadcast or transmission, such as radio or television programs (lähetys, lähetykset). In logistics and commerce, lähetys can refer to a shipment or dispatch (lähetys, lähetykset). Because lähetys covers multiple senses, the illative plural lähetyksiin can appear in contexts referring to entering or heading toward multiple mission fields, multiple broadcasts, or multiple shipments, with the meaning determined by the surrounding words.

Usage notes: lähetyksiin is most natural in religious or organizational contexts discussing movement toward various mission sites (for example, missionary teams heading to multiple locations). In media or logistics texts, it remains grammatically correct but is less common in everyday language; the exact sense is clarified by the surrounding terminology (sites, broadcasts, shipments).

Example: Lähetystyö vie monet lähetyksiin ympäri maailmaa. This sentence uses the illative plural to express movement toward the fields of mission work around the world. The form also serves as a grammatical tool to connect destination concepts with verbs of motion or direction.
