kontrolliin

Kontrolliin is a Finnish illative form of the noun kontrolli, meaning control, regulation, or oversight. It denotes movement into a state of control or the act of bringing something under control. As a grammatical form, kontrolliin is used with verbs that express turning a process, object, or situation toward that controlled state.

Etymology and function: Kontrolli is a loanword in Finnish, derived from English control. The illative suffix -iin attaches to the stem kontrolli to express “into control.” In Finnish prose, kontrolliin appears in contexts where a subject is moved, assigned, or brought under supervisory authority. It is common in administrative, technical, legal, and organizational language.

Usage and nuance: Kontrolliin is typically used with verbs of transition or placement, such as ottaa (to take into), siirtää (to transfer into), or asettaa (to place under). The construction signals that a process or entity is being brought under supervisory or regulatory oversight. It is not a standalone verb but a case-marked noun form that functions as a complement or object within a sentence.

Examples of use include phrases like “prosessi on otettu kontrolliin” (the process has been brought under control) and “kontrolliin siirtäminen” (the transfer into control) or “kontrolliin asettaminen” (the act of placing under control). These forms are encountered in policy, project management, and compliance contexts.
