Pisaroihin

Pisaroihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun pisara, meaning a droplet. In Finnish, the illative case marks motion toward or into something, and when forming the plural this is expressed with the suffix -iin, yielding pisaroihin for “into the droplets.” The form is used when the destination or target of a movement or change is a group of droplets, rather than a single droplet.

The word's base is pisara, and its related forms include pisaraan (illative singular: into a droplet), pisaroita (partitive plural), and pisaroiden (genitive plural). These forms illustrate how Finnish inflection encodes number and case on a common noun.

In use, pisaroihin often appears in descriptive or technical language, such as meteorology, physics, or descriptive prose about liquids that break into droplets or collect into a state consisting of droplets. For example, dew can condense into droplets, or water can split into droplets, both described with pisaroihin to indicate movement into the plural droplets.

Usage notes:

- pisaroihin typically occurs with verbs of movement or change that target droplets as a collective.

- It contrasts with the singular illative pisaraan, which refers to movement into a single droplet.

- As with other illative forms, the exact suffix may interact with vowel harmony and stem adjustments in more complex noun phrases.
