Sähköiseen

Sähköiseen is the illative singular form of the Finnish adjective sähköinen, meaning electric or electronic. The illative expresses direction toward a state or form, and it is used when describing movement into that state or form. In technical and formal writing, it commonly appears in phrases such as converting to electronic form or moving data into an electronic system.

Morphologically, sähköinen is formed from the stem sähkö- with the suffix -inen. The illative singular is created by adding -iseen, yielding sähköiseen. This form functions within noun phrases or clauses that indicate a transition or destination state, such as “into electronic form” or “into an electronic system.”

Usage and nuances, Finnish uses: The term sähköinen covers both electrical and electronic senses in many contexts, particularly in computing, data handling, and digital services. The illative sähköiseen is especially common in technical writing to denote transformation or transfer to electronic format. It is typically found in styles that describe processes, formats, and system states, rather than as a standalone adjective.

Examples:

- siirto sähköiseen muotoon — “conversion to electronic form”

- tiedot siirrettiin sähköiseen arkistoon — “the data were moved into the electronic archive”

- muunnos sähköiseen järjestelmään — “conversion to an electronic system”
