Tarjoaviin

Tarjoaviin is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the illative plural of the present active participle tarjoava, which comes from the verb tarjoaa meaning "to offer." As a participial adjective, tarjoava describes something that is offering or that provides, and tarjoaviin is used when the described element is plural and in the illative case (indicating direction toward or into).

In practice, tarjoaviin functions as part of a noun phrase rather than as a standalone word with its own lexical meaning. It typically appears in formal or technical Finnish, such as procurement, policy, or analytical texts, where it modifies a plural noun in illative form. The formation follows the regular pattern for illative plural of adjectives ending in -va/-vä: the stem tarjoav- takes the illative plural suffix -iin to yield tarjoaviin.

Example usage in Finnish might include phrases like tarjoaviin vaihtoehtoihin or tarjoaviin palveluihin, which convey the sense of “to the options that are offered” or “to the offered services.” These constructions are used to refer to items, options, or services that are being offered by others, such as bidders in a tender or providers of a choice set. The exact nuance depends on the surrounding nouns and context.

Related forms include tarjoava (present active participle as an attributive adjective) and tarjoaa (the base verb). Because tarjoaviin is a case-inflected form rather than a standalone noun, its meaning derives from its syntactic role within a larger noun phrase.
