Participleihin

Participleihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun partisiippi, meaning participle. In Finnish grammar, participles are verb-derived words that can function as adjectives or adverbs and participate in inflection like other adjectives. Finnish has several participle forms, including present active participle and various past and passive forms, which are used to express aspect, time, and voice. They can combine with other endings to form phrases that modify nouns or contribute to predicate structures.

The word partisiippi denotes a participle. The illative plural form partisiippeihin translates roughly as into participles or toward participles, depending on the context. This form appears when discussing the category of participles in linguistic descriptions, grammars, or language-learning materials. It is predominantly encountered in scholarly or didactic contexts rather than in everyday speech.

In Finnish, the illative plural suffix is part of the broader case system that marks direction toward something; the exact ending can vary with vowel harmony. For partisiippi, the typical plural illative would be partisiippeihin, used in phrases such as partisiippeihin liittyvät rakenteet (structures related to participles). While useful in linguistic discussion, partisiippeihin is not a common conversational form.
