Samantyyppisiin

Samantyyppisiin is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective samantyyppinen, which means “of the same type” or “similar.” It is used to describe a plural noun in the illative case, indicating movement toward or reference to similar kinds or kinds of items in a given context.

In practice, samantyyppisiin appears in sentences that discuss categories, examples, or situations that belong to a common type. For example, in a research context one might say: Tutkimuksessa viitattiin samantyyppisiin tilanteisiin, meaning that the discussion concerned situations of a similar kind. The form thus functions as a modifier that agrees with both number (plural) and case (illative) of the noun it describes.

Morphology and usage notes: samantyyppisiin is the illative plural form of samantyyppinen. The base form samantyyppinen declines to samantyyppisiä (partitive plural), samantyyppisten (genitive plural), samantyyppiset (nominative plural), samantyyppisissä (inessive plural), and so on, to match the noun’s case and number. This pattern follows standard Finnish adjective declension, where adjectives agree with the noun in number and case.

Etymology and related terms: samantyyppinen is built from sama (“same”) and tyyppi (“type/kind”). Related adjectives include samanlainen and samankaltainen, which convey similar meanings but with different nuance. In technical writing, samantyyppisiin is commonly used when grouping items, cases, or scenarios that share a common type or characteristics.
