kulttuurihistoriallisiin

Kulttuurihistoriallisiin is a Finnish inflected form of the compound adjective kulttuurihistoriallinen, meaning “cultural-historical.” It is the illative plural form, used to indicate movement toward or direction to multiple cultural-historical entities. The base adjective describes phenomena related to both culture and history, and it is commonly combined with a noun in illative plural, for example kohteisiin (to sites), arvoihin (to values), or paikkoihin (to places).

In everyday and technical Finnish, kulttuurihistoriallinen refers to things that pertain to culture and history, such as sites, artifacts, practices, or landscapes. The illative plural form kulttuurihistoriallisiin specifically signals “to cultural-historical [things]” and is typical in fields like cultural heritage management, urban planning, archaeology, and tourism discussions. For instance, phrases like kulttuurihistoriallisiin kohteisiin or kulttuurihistoriallisiin arvoihin appear in planning documents and heritage assessments to denote targets of protection, study, or preservation.

Linguistic notes: kulttuurihistoriallisiin is formed from kulttuurihistoriallinen, with the -llinen suffix creating the adjective, and the illative plural suffix -isiin attached to the adjective to govern a following noun in the illative plural. The form agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. The nominative plural of the base adjective would be kulttuurihistorialliset, while kulttuurihistoriallisiin remains a case-marked, directional form.
