korostettuihin

Korostettuihin is a Finnish grammatical form, not a standalone concept. It is the illative plural form of the past participle adjective korostettu, derived from the verb korostaa, meaning to emphasize or highlight. As an adjective in illative plural, korostettuihin is used with a plural noun to indicate motion toward or reference to the emphasized aspects or items.

Morphology and use

In Finnish, adjectives and participles agree with the noun they modify in number and case. Korostettu becomes korostettuihin when the noun it describes is plural and in illative case (roughly “to the emphasized ones/aspects”). The form is common in written Finnish, especially in technical, academic, and analytic prose, where speakers discuss highlighted points, aspects, or elements to which attention is drawn.

Etymology

Korostettu stems from korostaa (“to emphasize”). The illative plural ending -uihin (written as -ttuihin in the full form korostettuihin) marks direction into or toward the emphasized items. The construction reflects Finnish’s rich case system and its ability to turn adjectives and participles into case-inflected modifiers.

Examples

- korostettuihin seikkoihin viitataan raportissa (references are made to the emphasized aspects in the report).

- korostettuihin kohtiin kiinnitettiin huomio.

- ohjeessa korostettuihin kohtiin viittaavat esimerkit (examples referring to the emphasized points).

Note

Korostettuihin functions primarily as a grammatical form. Its meaning derives from the base concept of “emphasized” or “highlighted,” with the illative plural indicating a reference or movement toward those emphasized elements.
