erityisluonteeseen

Erityisluonteeseen is a grammatical form in Finnish, serving as the illative case of the noun eriyisluonne/erityisluonne, meaning a special nature, particular character, or distinctive temperament. The illative suffix -eseen/-eeseen indicates direction toward or into that concept, and it commonly appears in formal or academic prose when the noun is the target of relation or reference.

Etymology and related forms: The noun erityisluonne combines the prefix eriy-/erityis- with luonne (nature, temperament).
