Tallennukseen

Tallennukseen is the illative singular form of the Finnish noun tallennus, which can mean recording, saving, or storage. The illative case expresses movement toward or into something, so tallennukseen literally means into storage or for storage, and by extension into the process or purpose of saving something. In technical contexts, tallennukseen is used to describe actions that store data or media, or the destination of data saving.

In computing and data management, tallennukseen is used to refer to the act or destination of saving data. Examples in interface text might describe a path or target for saving, such as “Valitse kohde tallennukseen” (choose the destination for saving) or “Tiedot siirretään tallennukseen” (the data is transferred into storage). In archival or digital preservation contexts, tallennukseen can denote plans or steps to place material into a storage repository or archive.

Compared to tallennus, which denotes the act of recording or the storage itself, tallennukseen emphasizes the destination or purpose rather than the action in the moment. Related terms include tallennus (storage/recording), tallentaa (to save/record), arkistointi (archiving), and varastointi (storing).

Etymology: tallennukseen is formed from tallennus with the illative suffix -en, a standard Finnish construction for indicating movement toward or into a concept such as storage. The term is common in Finnish IT, media, and archival vocabulary.
