kohtiin

kohtiin is a Finnish word that translates to "towards" or "to" in English. It is a plural case ending used in the allative case. The allative case in Finnish indicates movement towards a place, a direction, or an abstract goal. For example, the word "talo" means "house," and "taloon" means "into the house" or "to the house." When referring to multiple entities or a general direction, the plural form of the allative is used, which is where "kohtiin" comes into play.

The word "kohtiin" itself is the plural allative form of the noun "kohta," which can mean "point," "spot," or "moment." Therefore, "kohtiin" literally translates to "towards points" or "to spots." However, its usage extends beyond this literal meaning to express movement in various directions or towards multiple destinations. For instance, one might say "Hän juoksi kohtiin" which could mean "He ran towards the spots" or more idiomatically, "He ran in several directions." It can also be used in a more abstract sense, indicating progress towards a set of objectives. The precise meaning often depends on the context in which it is used.
