ilmoitukseen

Ilmoitukseen is the illative singular form of the Finnish noun ilmoitus, which means notice, announcement, or notification. The illative case expresses movement into something or inclusion within it, so ilmoitukseen is used to indicate “into the notice” or “to the notice” in contexts where an action targets the notice as its object.

In ordinary use, ilmoitus refers to a public notice, an official announcement, or an advertisement. It appears in settings such as municipal postings, job advertisements, legal notices, and other formal communications. Finnish distinguishes between ilmoitus and related terms like tiedote (press release or information note) and mainos (advertisement), with ilmoitus often carrying a more formal or official nuance.

As a noun, ilmoitus declines through cases: nominative ilmoitus, illative ilmoitukseen, inessive ilmoituksessa, elative ilmoituksesta, genitive ilmoituksen, partitive ilmoitusta, and so on. In plural, forms include ilmoitukset (nominative), and illatives such as ilmoituksiin. The illative form ilmoitukseen is commonly used with verbs that indicate adding to or modifying the content of the notice, for example: Muutos on tehtävä ilmoitukseen (A change must be made to the notice) and Tiedot on lisättävä ilmoitukseen (The information must be added to the notice).

Etymologically, ilmoitus stems from the verb ilmoittaa, meaning to notify or announce, with the noun forming the concept of an announced or published notice. The term is widespread in official, administrative, and media-language in Finnish.
