korotuksiin

Korotuksiin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun korotus, which denotes an increase or raise—such as a price increase, wage increase, or tax increase. In Finnish grammar, the illative case expresses movement toward or into something, and korotuksiin is used when referring to multiple increases or to the topic of increases in general.

The form is most often seen in compound nouns and phrases such as hinnankorotuksiin (to price increases), veronkorotuksiin (to tax increases), and palkankorotuksiin (to wage increases). It also functions as the illative complement of verbs that require the illative, for example varautua korotuksiin (to prepare for increases) or tarttua korotuksiin (to address increases).

In phrases, korotuksiin can be used with adjectives and nouns to describe costs or implications related to increases, for instance korotuksiin liittyvät kustannukset (costs related to increases). The term is not typically used as a stand-alone concept; its meaning arises from its grammatical role and the accompanying context.

Etymology and morphology: korotus means an increase and is formed from the verb korottaa, “to increase.” The illative plural ending -uksiin attaches to the stem to yield korotuksiin in plural illative. See also: hinnankorotus, veronkorotus, palkankorotus.
