Regulatiivisiin

Regulatiivisiin is the illative plural form of the Finnish adjective regulatiivinen, meaning regulatory. In Finnish, the illative case typically marks direction toward or reference to something, and regulatiivisiin is used to describe a noun in illative plural that relates to regulation, standards, or compliance. The term appears in legal, policy, and quality-management language to specify regulatory aspects directed at a plural noun.

Morphology and usage notes: Finnish -inen adjectives decline like other -inen adjectives. The illative plural suffix is -isiin, so regulatiivinen becomes regulatiivisiin when modifying a plural noun in illative. Related forms include regulatiiviset (nominative plural), regulatiivisten (genitive plural), and regulatiivisia (partitive plural). These forms share the same root and indicate different grammatical cases and numbers.

Contexts and example usage: Regulatiivisiin is commonly found in phrases such as regulatory requirements, guidelines, or standards that are being discussed in a context of compliance or governance. Example sentences include: “Yritysten on noudatettava regulatiivisiin vaatimuksiin liittyviä standardeja.” and “Regulatiivisiin ohjeisiin viitataan usein viranomaisohjeistuksissa.” These illustrate how the illative plural form pairs with nouns in illative to express “to regulatory [things].”

Notes: Regulatiivisiin functions as an adjective form, not a standalone noun. It is most common in formal, technical, or legal Finnish and is used to describe elements connected to regulation, such as requirements, guidelines, or standards, within noun phrases.
