autonomisiin

Autonomisiin is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the illative plural of the adjective autonominen, meaning autonomous. In Finnish, the illative case marks direction toward something, and the plural form autonomisiin is used when the target is multiple autonomous entities or areas. The form appears in descriptions of self-governing units, regions, organizations, or components that operate with autonomy.

The word autonominen derives from the concept of autonomy, which can refer to political self-governance, organizational independence, or technical modularity. When combined with the illative plural ending, autonomisiin signals movement toward or inclusion in several autonomous items, rather than a single one. This makes autonomisiin common in formal or descriptive texts such as policy documents, organizational plans, and academic writing.

Usage examples are typically phrases like autonomisiin yksiköihin (into autonomous units), autonomisiin tiloihin (into autonomous spaces), or autonomisiin alueisiin (into autonomous regions). The construction is purely grammatical and does not itself imply a value judgment about the autonomy described; it simply encodes the direction toward multiple autonomous targets.

In Finnish, other illative plural forms exist for different adjectives and nouns, and autonomisiin is one among them used with the plural, indicating movement toward several autonomous entities. The base form autonominen and related nouns like autonomia are more general terms for the concept of self-rule or self-management, while autonomisiin is the inflected form used in context-specific statements.
