kohdepisteeseen

Kohdepisteeseen is the illative case form of the Finnish compound noun kohdepiste, meaning “to the target point” or “toward the designated position.” It is used in Finnish to express movement toward a specified destination and appears in technical instructions, plans, and descriptions where a final location is relevant.

Etymology and grammar: Kohdepiste is formed from kohde ("target" or "destination") and piste ("point"). The illative suffix -een marks motion into or toward an area. Kohdepisteeseen is typically used with verbs of movement or guidance, such as mennä ("to go"), ohjata ("to direct"), or suuntautua ("to orient toward").

Contexts: In navigation and surveying, kohdepisteeseen denotes the endpoint of a route or measurement. In robotics and automation, it specifies the target position for a robot or drone. In mapping, logistics, and process documentation, it can indicate the coordinate or location toward which actions are directed. The term is common in Finnish technical writing and manuals, where precision of destination matters.

Examples: “Matkareitti päättyy kohdepisteeseen.” “Robotti ohjattiin kohdepisteeseen.” “Käyttäjä syöttää kohdepisteen koordinaatit ja järjestelmä laskee reitin kohdepisteeseen.”
