Nomineihin

Nomineihin is a Finnish illative plural form that appears in discussions about names or lists of people, and it is sometimes encountered in formal or literary contexts. The form can be read as “to the names” or, in contexts dealing with awards and nominations, “to the nominees.” In everyday Finnish, however, this specific inflected form is uncommon; more typical expressions refer to lists or groups of people using other constructions, such as nimien lista or ehdokkaiden luettelo.

In Finnish grammar, nominals can take illative endings to indicate movement toward or reference to a defined set. The plural illative form signals that the action or reference is directed toward a group of items identified by names. Because nomineihin is not a standard, frequently used lemma, its appearance is often tied to specialized text, legal phrasing, or stylistic choices in literature. The precise meaning is therefore highly context-dependent and usually clarified by surrounding words that identify the intended group (for example, a list of names or a slate of nominees).

Usage notes and alternatives: in contemporary Finnish, speakers typically express related ideas with clearer constructions such as nimien listaan, nimien luetteloon, or ehdokkaiden luetteloon, depending on whether the reference is to names in general or to nominees specifically. Nomineihin serves more as a grammatical form that can appear in certain written styles rather than as a common everyday term.
