Varattuihin

Varattuihin is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective varattu, meaning reserved or booked. It is used to denote items or spaces that have been reserved, in particular when describing them in the illative plural. The form varattuihin is the illative plural of the participle or adjective and is typically used with plural nouns in illative case, indicating movement toward or introduction into those reserved items, such as reserved seats, rooms, or tickets.

Etymology-wise, varattu comes from the verb varata, meaning to reserve, with the past passive participle suffix -ttu. The illative plural ending -iin/-ihin is added to form varattuihin. The word functions as a grammatical form rather than a standalone noun, and it is related to other inflected forms such as varatuissa or varattuun.

Usage-wise, varattuihin appears most often in written Finnish, including event programs, booking instructions, and travel or hospitality contexts, where it describes reservations in the plural illative. It is typically found in phrases describing access to or direction toward reserved items or spaces.

Translations and equivalent expressions depend on context. In English, varattuihin can correspond to “into the reserved (places/items)” or, more loosely, to “to reserved ones” when used with a suitable noun. For example, a phrase mentioning “varattuihin paikkoihin” would refer to access to the reserved seats. In practice, speakers may also use more general terms such as varatut tilat or varatut paikat for common, everyday usage.
