lasiastioihin

Lasiastioihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun lasiastia, meaning a glass container or glass dish. The form indicates movement into or placement into multiple glass containers and is commonly used in contexts such as cooking, serving, and laboratory settings where glass vessels are used.

The base word lasiastia combines lasi, glass, with astia, a container. The plural nominative is lasiastiat, and the illative plural form is lasiastioihin, signaling “into glass containers.” This ending pattern is typical for Finnish nouns that describe countable containers in plural form when the action involves placing something into them.

Usage examples:

- Aineet kaadetaan lasiastioihin. (The materials are poured into glass containers.)

- Sekoitus laitetaan lasiastioihin ennen tarjoilua. (The mixture is placed into glass dishes before serving.)

- Jälkiruoka siirretään lasiastioihin tarjoilua varten. (The dessert is transferred into glass dishes for serving.)

Notes:

- Lasiastioihin is a specific grammatical form; the corresponding forms include lasiastiat (nominative plural) and lasiastia (singular).

- In everyday Finnish, referents may vary between glassware in kitchens and glass containers in laboratories; lasiastia broadly covers both, though context often clarifies the exact type of glass vessel.
