annokseen

Annokseen is the illative singular form of the Finnish noun annos, meaning a dose or portion. In Finnish grammar, illative forms indicate direction toward or into something and are used to show the destination of an action. The form annokseen is built from the stem annos- with the illative suffix -seen, following vowel harmony rules. It is one of several inflected forms of annos, alongside annoksen (genitive), annosta (partitive), and annoksessa (inessive).

In use, annokseen appears mainly in contexts involving dosing, administration, or preparation of liquids and medicines. It signals that an action is directed at or into the dose. For example: Lisää lääke annokseen, meaning “Add the medicine to the dose.” Another example: Kaada neste annokseen, meaning “Pour the liquid into the dose.” Such sentences are common in medical instructions, recipe notes, or procedural descriptions where precise dosing language is needed.

Annokseen is primarily a grammatical form with a specific syntactic role rather than a standalone lexical concept. Its relevance lies mainly in Finnish language studies, pharmacological instructions, and other domains that require correct use of the illative case for the noun annos.
