Teatterisuhteiseen

Teatterisuhteiseen is a Finnish-language form that conveys the idea of something theatre-related or connected to theatre relationships. It is the illative case form of the adjective teatterisuhteinen, which is derived from teatterisuhde (theatre relation or connection) plus the adjectival suffix -inen. The word functions as a modifier that agrees with the case of the noun it describes; for example, teatterisuhteiseen kysymykseen means “to/into a theatre-related question.”

In practice, teatterisuhteinen and its case forms are used in contexts where discussions concern theatre connections, collaborations, or audience and organizational relations within the theatre sector. The term is most common in written Finnish within fields such as theatre studies, cultural policy, journalism, and organizational communication related to theatre networks. It is not a general everyday term, but a specialized descriptor used to specify the theatre-related nature of a topic or matter.

Etymology and form: teatterisuhde combines theatre (teatteri) with relation/connection (suhde), and teatterisuhteinen adds the common adjectival suffix -inen. Case endings like teatterisuhteiseen appear when the modifier is linked to a noun in a particular grammatical case, illustrating Finnish’s system of inflecting adjectives to agree with their noun.
