loukkaantumisiin

Loukkaantumisiin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun loukkaantuminen and is used to indicate movement or direction toward instances of injury or being offended. As an inflected form, it appears in contexts where something is directed into, toward, or in anticipation of multiple cases of loukkaantuminen.

The base noun loukkaantuminen has two principal senses in Finnish: a physical injury (medical, accidental harm) and an emotional reaction (taking offense). Loukkaantumisiin therefore can refer to preparation for or reference to several physical injuries (for example in safety planning) or to multiple instances of people feeling offended in social interactions. Context and collocating verbs determine which sense is intended.

Grammatically, loukkaantumisiin functions like other illative plural forms of -minen nouns, often following verbs such as varautua (to prepare for), kohdistua (to be directed at), or johtaa (to lead to), e.g., viranomaiset varautuivat loukkaantumisiin (authorities prepared for injuries). In legal and medical contexts the term is typically read as physical harm and appears in reports and documentation; in everyday speech and media it more often denotes interpersonal offense and emotional reactions.

Synonyms depend on sense: vammoihin or loukkeihin for physical injuries, and loukatuksi tulemisiin or riitoihin for emotional offence. English translations include "to injuries," "to being hurt," or "to being offended," depending on context.
