Rohkeisiin

Rohkeisiin is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the adjective rohkea, meaning brave. It represents the illative plural form, literally translating to “to the brave ones” or “toward the brave.” The expression is not a standalone concept but a word form that can function within larger sentences or as a stylistic element in titles, slogans, or poetry.

In Finnish, the illative case marks motion into or toward something, and adjectives inflected for number and case can take forms like rohkeisiin when referring to a group described as brave. The form rohkeisiin results from applying the illative plural suffix to the root rohkea, following vowel harmony rules. While primarily a grammatical form, rohkeisiin is encountered mainly in written language and in contexts that emphasize a collective identified by bravery.

Usage of rohkeisiin tends to occur in promotional texts, slogans, or poetic lines where speakers or writers address or direct attention toward a group characterized by courage, such as soldiers, athletes, or pioneers. It is less common in everyday spoken Finnish as a free-standing phrase and more often appears as part of a larger construction or as a stylistic device. Because it is a form of an adjective, its meaning relies on the surrounding noun or verb and the intended sense of direction or appeal.
