Raajoihin

Raajoihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun raaja, meaning limb. In Finnish grammar, the illative case marks movement toward or into a destination, and its plural form is used when talking about multiple limbs or limb regions. The stem raajo- combines with the illative plural suffix -iin to produce raajoihin.

The word is commonly found in medical, anatomical, and sports contexts, where descriptions involve the limbs or actions affecting them. It can appear in phrases describing symptoms, injuries, or procedures directed at the limbs, as well as in discussions of limb-related biomechanics or physiology. Because illative forms indicate direction or movement, raajoihin often accompanies verbs of motion, change, or impact.

Examples are straightforward: "Kipu levisi raajoihin" (The pain spread to the limbs). In clinical writing or reporting, raajoihin may occur in phrases that address conditions, treatments, or responses affecting the limbs.

Notes on usage: raajoihin follows ordinary Finnish noun inflection rules for forming illative plurals, aligning with other nouns that take the -iin suffix in the illative plural. Like other illative forms, its exact spelling can reflect phonological harmony with the stem for readability and pronunciation in context.
