keskimmäisiin

keskimmäisiin is a Finnish word that translates to "to the middle ones" or "into the middle ones". It is the illative plural form of the adjective "keskinen", which means "middle" or "central". The illative case in Finnish indicates movement or a state of being within something. Therefore, "keskimmäisiin" implies a motion or inclusion directed towards multiple things that are considered the middle or central items within a group or set.

For example, one might use "keskimmäisiin" in a sentence like "Laita kirjat keskimmäisiin hyllyihin," which means "Put the books into the middle shelves." Here, "keskimmäisiin" refers to the shelves that are positioned in the middle. Another context could be "Hän valitsi keskimmäisiin vaihtoehtoihin," meaning "He chose the middle options." This suggests a selection made from several choices, with the middle ones being chosen. The word is typically used when referring to discrete, countable items or positions that can be classified as being in the middle of a series or arrangement. It is a grammatical form that conveys a specific spatial or positional relationship.
