Sokeriin

Sokeriin is the illative form of the Finnish noun sokeri, meaning sugar. In Finnish, illative forms indicate direction into or toward something and are commonly used with verbs of movement or change of state. As a grammatical form, sokeriin does not have an independent meaning beyond its role in sentences.

Formation and usage: the word is created by adding the illative suffix -iin to the stem sokeri, yielding sokeriin. It is used to specify the target or destination of an action, such as pouring, mixing, or dissolving into a substance that involves sugar. In practical language, you will encounter sokeriin in contexts like cooking or beverages, where the instruction refers to the action directed toward sugar or toward a mixture that includes sugar.

Example and context: a typical usage is a command or instruction like “Sekoita vähän vettä sokeriin,” meaning to stir a small amount of water into the sugar. More broadly, sokeriin appears in phrases where the action is performed with the sugar as the target or component of a preparation.

Note: outside Finnish grammar, sokeriin is not an established term with a separate meaning. It is primarily a grammatical form used within the language to express destination or direction in relation to the noun sokeri.
