juttuihin

Juttuihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun juttu, a word with several closely related meanings in everyday language. Juttu can refer to a story or article, a piece of news or gossip, or more generally to a matter, thing, or topic. Juttuihin, as a grammatical form, signals movement toward or a focus on those stories, topics, or matters.

In use, juttuihin appears in sentences that steer conversation or text toward specific subjects. It often conveys a sense of “getting to the points” or “moving on to the topics at hand.” Common constructions include phrases such to which people refer when shifting discussion or indicating that discussion will address particular issues. Examples in everyday Finnish include statements like “Mennään juttuihin” (Let’s get to the topics/matters) or “Palataan juttuihin myöhemmin” (We’ll come back to the matters later). The form can also appear in more literal contexts where multiple stories or topics are being grouped or organized.

As a grammatical inflection, juttuihin does not constitute a separate lexical entry with a distinct meaning beyond the base noun juttu; rather, it demonstrates how Finnish uses case and number endings to indicate direction or relation to a group of topics. In writing and journalism, the plural illative can be used to reference a set of stories or issues collectively, especially when outlining themes or sections.
