Pakotettuihin

Pakotettuihin is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the past participle pakotettu, meaning forced. As a substantive or attributive form, pakotettuihin denotes “the forced ones” or “those subjected to coercion” and is most commonly found in formal or analytical language. It represents the illative plural form of the participle when used in a noun-like role, typically relating a group or set of subjects to a state or action imposed by external forces.

In practice, pakotettuihin appears with nouns in the illative case, often indicating destination, direction, or reference to forces that compel a situation. Examples of usage include phrases such as pakotettuihin toimenpiteisiin (into/into the forced measures) or pakotettuihin velvoitteisiin (to the obligations imposed). The form agrees in number with the noun it accompanies and functions to shift the meaning from a mere state of being forced to a collective or categorical reference.

Relation to other forms is straightforward: pakotettu can form nominative plural pakotetut (the forced ones) and different inflected forms for other cases. Pakotettuihin is most characteristic in written, legal, or policy-oriented Finnish, where distinctions between voluntary and coerced elements are relevant.
