menestyviin

Menestyviin is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the illative plural inflection of the adjective menestyvä, meaning “prosperous” or “successful.” In Finnish, the illative case indicates motion toward or into something, and its plural form combines with a plural noun. The illative plural suffix -iin attaches to the stem menestyvi- derived from menestyvä, producing menestyviin.

Menestyviin is used before a plural noun in illative, for example: menestyviin maihin (“to prosperous countries”) and menestyviin yrityksiin (“to prosperous companies”). The form is a grammatical inflection and does not stand alone as a separate noun; it modifies the accompanying plural noun in illative.

Usage notes: In everyday speech, languages speakers might opt for more general phrasing, but menestyviin appears in formal or descriptive Finnish, particularly in contexts discussing destinations or groups characterized by success, such as economic or policy-related writing. It can convey a sense of direction toward entities perceived as successful.

Etymology and morphology: The base adjective is menestyvä (“prosperous”). It derives from the noun menestys (success). The illative plural suffix -iin attaches to the stem, yielding menestyviin.
