Urheilukenttiin

Urheilukenttiin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun urheilukenttä, meaning sports field. The illative case denotes movement into a place, so urheilukenttiin is used when referring to entering or going into multiple sports fields.

In everyday use, urheilukenttiin can appear in sentences like: Joukkue suuntaa urheilukenttiin treeneihin, and Me menimme urheilukenttiin pelaamaan jalkapalloa. These examples illustrate leaving a location and moving into the fields for a purpose such as practice or play. The form contrasts with other case forms that express location or direction differently.

Notes on related forms and nuance:

- illative singular: urheilukenttään (into one sports field)

- illative plural: urheilukenttiin (into multiple sports fields)

- allative plural: urheilukentille (to the sports fields)

- adessive plural: urheilukentillä (on/in the sports fields)

- genitive plural: urheilukenttien (of the sports fields)

Understanding these variants helps distinguish whether one is talking about entering, going to, being at, or belonging to the fields.
