Partisiippeihin

Partisiippeihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun partisiippi, meaning “to participles” or “into participles.” In Finnish grammar, partisiippi refers to participles, a non-finite verb form used to express attributes or aspects of an action without specifying the subject and tense. Finnish has several participle forms, including present active participle and past active participle, as well as passive participles formed with -ttu/-tty.

The illative plural form partisiippeihin appears in theoretical discussions, grammars, and educational texts when referring to the group of participles as a category or when a sentence requires a noun phrase in the illative case that denotes movement toward or into that category. In practical writing, the form is mainly encountered in linguistic analysis, textbooks, and reference works rather than in everyday Finnish prose.

As with other illative forms, partisiippeihin is a product of Finnish case harmony and noun-phrase inflection. It demonstrates how Finnish combines nominal forms with case endings to indicate relationships such as direction, purpose, or scope within a sentence.

In sum, partisiippeihin is a specialized grammatical term used to denote “into participles” or “to the participles” in plural illative form, primarily appearing in linguistic, academic, or descriptive contexts about Finnish participles. See also Finnish grammar, participles, illative case.
