Täytteisiin

Täytteisiin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun täyte, which means filling or stuffing. In Finnish grammar, the illative case marks direction toward or into something, and the plural form täytteisiin is used when referring to multiple fillings or when describing an action directed at fillings.

The base noun täyte refers to a mixture or material used to stuff another dish or to accompany it. Fillings can be savory, such as meat, cheese, vegetables, or seafood mixtures, or sweet, such as fruit preserves, cream, or custard. The concept is widely used in cooking and baking, including pastries, pies, dumplings, and other stuffed foods.

Usage examples in culinary writing and recipes include sentences that describe adding or mixing ingredients into fillings. For example: "Lisää juustoa täytteisiin" (Add cheese to the fillings) or "Täytteisiin voidaan sekoittaa tilliä" (Dill can be mixed into the fillings). The illative form helps specify the destination or target of an action, namely the fillings themselves, rather than the dish as a whole.

Grammatical notes: täyte is a neuter noun; its plural nominative is täytteet. The illative plural suffix is -iin, producing täytteisiin. This form does not function as a standalone lexical item but as a case form used with verbs and prepositions that govern illative.
