Vuosikertoihin

Vuosikertoihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun vuosikerta, which refers to the annual edition or volume of a serial publication such as a journal, magazine, or yearbook. A vuosikerta covers all issues published within a given year.

In bibliographic and library contexts, vuosikerta denotes a specific year’s complete set of issues. The illative plural form vuosikertoihin is used when the sentence expresses movement toward or reference to multiple annual editions, typically in catalogs, references, or scholarly notes. For example, a citation might indicate information found in vuosikertoihin 2015–2017, meaning the annual editions for those years.

Etymology and related forms: vuosikerta combines vuosi (year) and kerta (edition, issue). The standard inflection allows forms such as vuosikerta (singular nominative), vuosikertaa (partitive), vuosikertojen (genitive), and vuosikertaan (illative singular). The illative plural form vuosikertoihin follows Finnish patterning for moving toward or referring to multiple year editions. Related terms include vuosikerta, vuosikertajulkaisu, and aikakauslehti, which describe yearly issues and serial publications more broadly.

See also: vuosikerta (yearly edition), bibliografia (bibliography), luettelointi (cataloging), aikakauslehti (periodical).

In summary, vuosikertoihin is a grammatical form used primarily in bibliographic and cataloging language to refer to the annual editions of a serial publication, especially when discussing multiple years or directing attention toward those year-based volumes.
