lahkeisiin

Lahkeisiin is a Finnish noun form meaning the illative plural of lahje, a word that refers to the hem or edge of a garment, especially the pant leg. In clothing vocabulary, lahje denotes the bottom part of fabric that forms a garment’s edge, and lahkeet is its nominative plural.

Morphologically, lahje is the base noun; its plural nominative is lahkeet. The illative plural, used to express movement toward or insertion into something, is lahkeisiin. This form is common in descriptions of clothing construction and alteration, and it appears with verbs that govern illative meaning, such as ommella (to sew), kiinnittää (to attach), or taittaa (to fold).

Usage notes:

- Lahkeisiin is typically used to indicate actions directed at or occurring within the pant legs, for example in construction or modification of trousers.

- It is often found in passive or impersonal constructions, such as housujen lahkeisiin on ommeltu vetoketjut (Zippers have been sewn into the trouser legs) or nauha on kiinnitetty lahkeisiin (The ribbon is attached to the pant legs).

Examples:

- Housujen lahkeisiin on ommeltu vetoketjut.

- Lahkeisiin on lisätty kiristimet.

Related forms include lahkeeseen (singular illative) and lahkeet (nominative plural). Lahkeisiin is a standard term in Finnish garment terminology and appears primarily in technical descriptions, sewing instructions, and fashion reporting.
