Seksuaalisiin

Seksuaalisiin is a Finnish adjective form derived from seksuaalinen, meaning "sexual." In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. When a plural noun is in the illative case (the form indicating movement into or into the domain of something), seksuaalinen takes the ending -iin, producing seksuaalisiin. For example, seksuaalisiin suhteisiin liittyvät aiheet means "topics related to sexual relationships." This illustrates how the form is used to describe plural entities within contexts that require the illative.

The form is commonly found in academic, health, educational, and policy texts where sexuality-related topics are discussed. It often appears in phrases such as seksuaalisiin suhteisiin, seksuaalisiin kysymyksiin, or in constructions like seksuaalisuudesta keskusteltaessa.

Etymology and related terms: The adjective seksuaalinen is built from the noun seksuaali (sex/sexuality). The Finnish term traces its roots to the broader Latin-based word for sex (sexus) and has developed through linguistic contact with other European languages, including Swedish (sexuell). Related Finnish terms include seksuaalisuus (sexuality), seksuaalikasvatus (sex education), and other compounds built on seksuaali-/seksuaalinen roots. The language usage of seksuaalisiin is neutral and descriptive, used whenever sexuality is being described in a plural illative context.
