kohvimasinasse

Kohvimasinasse is an Estonian illative form meaning into or into the coffee machine. It is formed from the compound kohvimasin (coffee machine) plus the illative suffix -asse, which marks direction toward the interior of a container or space.

In Estonian grammar, the illative case (ending in -sse) is used to indicate movement toward or placement inside a location. With a compound like kohvimasin, kohvimasinasse specifies putting something into the machine or moving toward the machine, rather than simply being at the machine. It is commonly used with verbs of placing, pouring, or inserting, and it often appears in instructions or everyday tasks related to coffee preparation or machine maintenance.

Usage examples:

- Ma panin vett kohvimasinasse. (I put water into the coffee machine.)

- Kui soovid piima, pane piim kohvimasinasse. (If you want milk, put milk into the coffee machine.)

- Ta läks kohvimasinasse, et vaadata, kas see töötab. (He went to the coffee machine to see if it works.)

Related terms include kohvimasin (coffee machine) and other Estonian case forms of instrumental actions, such as to the machine in different contexts. Understanding kohvimasinasse helps in parsing and forming sentences about interacting with appliances, especially in kitchen or service-domain Estonian.
