humanistisiin

Humanistisiin is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the illative plural form of the adjective humanistinen, meaning “humanistic” or “related to the humanities.” In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify, including number and case. The illative plural suffix -isiin marks movement toward or orientation toward a plural target.

Usage of the form occurs when the noun phrase is in illative case and plural. It is commonly found in contexts discussing values, perspectives, or approaches in the humanities. Examples include:

- Pyrimme humanistisiin arvoihin. (We strive toward humanistic values.)

- Koulutuksessa keskitytään humanistisiin näkökulmiin. (The education program focuses on humanistic perspectives.)

Etymology and relation to other forms: The word comes from the noun humanisti (humanist) and the suffix -inen to form the adjective humanistinen, with the illative plural ending -isiin. The combination expresses direction toward something humanistic.

Notes: Humanistisiin is not a standalone concept; it is a grammatical inflection used to modify a noun in illative plural. Its meaning is tied to the broader Finnish concept of the humanities and human-centered approaches.
