Tekniisiin

Tekniisiin is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “to the technologies” or “to techniques.” It is the illative plural form of tekniikka, the noun that covers technology and technique. As an illative, tekniisiin marks direction or movement toward multiple technologies or techniques and is used with verbs that require the illative case in contexts such as education, research, or technical discussion.

In usage, tekniisiin appears when the speaker wants to indicate engagement with or approach toward a plural set of technologies or techniques. It is not a separate word with its own independent meaning; rather, it is a morphological form of tekniikka. The choice of illative plural reflects the syntactic need to express “toward” or “into” in relation to more than one technology or technique.

Etymology and semantics: tekniikka means technology or technique and is a Finnish development from the broader family of European terms for technique, technology, and craft. The form tekniisiin is derived from tekniikka and is part of the Finnish system of vowel harmony and case endings. The root concept centers on applied science, methods, and practices used in engineering, research, and industry.
