Toisillenne

Toisillenne is a Finnish word that translates to "to each other" or "to one another" in English. It is a reciprocal pronoun used to indicate that an action is performed by two or more people upon each other. The word is formed by combining the word "toinen" (other) with the allative case ending "-lle" (to). The plural form "toisillenne" specifically refers to a plural subject performing the action to each other, as opposed to the singular "toisilleen" which refers to a singular subject performing the action to another singular subject.

The usage of toisillenne is common in everyday Finnish conversation and writing. For example, if two friends are helping each other, one might say "He auttavat toisillenne" which means "They help each other." Similarly, if a group of people are exchanging gifts, the sentence "He antoivat lahjoja toisillenne" translates to "They gave gifts to each other." The reciprocal nature of the pronoun is crucial for conveying the meaning of mutual interaction. Understanding this word is key to comprehending sentences that describe actions involving multiple individuals acting in relation to one another.
