kommenttiin

Kommenttiin is a Finnish grammatical form of the noun kommentti, meaning “comment.” It is the illative case form used to indicate movement toward or reference to a specific comment within a written discourse, particularly in online discussions. The illative suffix -iin attaches to the noun, yielding kommenttiin.

Usage of kommenttiin is common in online communication to specify the target of a reply or remark within a thread. A typical sentence is “Vastasin kommenttiin” (I replied to the comment), which illustrates how the illative marks the direction of the action toward the comment in question. The form is frequently found in forums, social media, messaging, and other platforms where comments are organized in sequence.

As a grammatical form, kommenttiin does not carry a separate semantic load beyond signaling the target of an action toward a comment; its interpretation depends on the surrounding verb and context. It is distinct from other related forms, such as kommentti (the base noun) and kommentissa (in the comment). Finnish morphology uses illative endings broadly, and kommentti follows this pattern in its illative singular form.
