Vihkoon

Vihko is a Finnish noun meaning notebook or exercise book. Vihkoon is the illative singular form, used to express direction or destination: into a notebook or to the notebook. It is commonly used with verbs that describe writing, recording or placing information, such as kirjoittaa (to write), merkitä (to mark), or tallentaa (to save). In practice, vihkoon conveys that something is written or noted in a notebook.

In everyday Finnish, vihko refers to a physical notebook, often a school exercise book or a personal notebook used for notes, diaries, or lists. The illative form vihkoon is a standard part of Finnish grammar and appears in sentences where the action is performed into or inside the notebook, for example after verbs of writing or recording. The construction is flexible and can be combined with various objects, such as muistiinpanot (notes) or tehtävät (assignments).

Examples:

- Kirjoitan muistiinpanot vihkoon. (I write the notes into the notebook.)

- Oppilaat laittavat vastaukset vihkoon. (Students put the answers into the notebook.)

- Vihkoon kirjoitetut ohjeet löytyvät ohjesivuilta. (The instructions written in the notebook are found on the instruction pages.)

Notes:

Vihkoon is distinct from other cases of vihko, which can indicate different grammatical roles. The term is widely understood in Finnish and is commonly used in educational and personal contexts to refer to the physical notebook and the act of recording information into it.
