Ruokintoihin
Ruokintoihin is a Finnish inflected form that appears primarily in technical and scientific texts. It represents the illative plural form of the noun ruokinto, which denotes feeding activities, feeding setups, or feeding points. In Finnish, the illative case expresses direction toward or inclusion within something, so ruokintoihin can be translated roughly as “into the feedings” or more naturally “to the feeding stations/areas,” depending on context. The base noun ruokinto is relatively uncommon in everyday language; the more common term is ruokinta (feeding), with its illative forms ruokintaan (singular) and ruokintoihin (plural) used in corresponding contexts.
Ruokintoihin tends to occur in agricultural, ecological, veterinary, and wildlife-management texts where multiple feeding points or
- Eläinten ruokintoihin liittyvät menot ovat merkittäviä. (Costs related to animal feeding are significant.)
- Tutkimus keskittyy ruokintoihin käytettyihin resursseihin. (The study focuses on resources used for feeding stations.)
