aromattisiin

Aromattisiin is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the illative plural of the adjective aromattinen, meaning aromatic. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they describe in number and case, so aromattinen changes to aromattisiin when used with a plural noun in the illative case, which expresses direction toward or into something.

Morphology and usage: Aromattinen belongs to the class of -inen adjectives. The illative plural ending for this class is typically -isiin, resulting in aromattisiin. This form is used when referring to multiple items understood as being aromatic and when describing actions directed toward those items. The construction is common in written and spoken Finnish, especially in culinary, fragrance, or product descriptions.

Examples and meaning: Aromattisiin öljyihin lisätään sitrushedelmän kuorta. (Lemon zest is added to the aromatic oils.) Aromattisiin ruokiin käytetään tuoreita yrttejä. (Fresh herbs are used in the aromatic foods.) These sentences illustrate how the illative plural signals movement toward or inclusion inside a plural noun phrase described as aromatic.

Notes: Aromattisiin is not a separate concept but a standard inflected form of a common adjective. Its use depends on context where multiple aromatic items are the target of an action or movement, and the nouns involved are plural. The form reflects Finnish grammar more than a distinct semantic category.
