Teollisiin

Teollisiin is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the adjective teollinen, meaning industrial. It is the plural illative form used before a plural noun in illative case, and it expresses notions such as “to/into/for industrial …” depending on the noun it accompanies. A common construction is teollisiin tarkoituksiin, which translates roughly as “for industrial purposes.”

Formation and usage of the form follow Finnish grammar rules for adjectives: when the noun is plural and in the illative case, the adjective takes the ending -iin, producing teollisiin. The singular illative counterpart is teolliseen (as in teolliseen tarkoitukseen). Other phrases may pair teollisiin with different illative plurals, such as teollisiin investointeihin or teollisiin sovelluksiin.

Usage context and nuance: teollisiin appears mainly in formal, technical, or policy language related to industry, manufacturing, or economic planning. It signals that the discussed action or object is directed toward industrial purposes or contexts involving industry, often in phrases describing intended use, scope of application, or strategic focus.

Example phrases include teollisiin tarkoituksiin (for/into industrial purposes), teollisiin investointeihin (into/for industrial investments), and teollisiin sovelluksiin (into/for industrial applications). The term is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form that enables precise expression of purpose or direction in plural illative constructions.
