muotoiseen

Muotoiseen is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective muotoinen, meaning "shaped" or "in the form of." It is used to describe a noun as having a particular form or resembling a specific shape. In Finnish grammar, muotoiseen is chosen according to the noun’s case and number, reflecting the agreement between adjective and noun.

The word is formed from muoto- "shape" or "form" plus the adjectival suffix -oinen, which yields muotoinen meaning "having that form." The finite form muotoiseen is one of several declined forms that muotoinen can take to fit different syntactic contexts in a sentence. This pattern is common in the Finnish adjectives of the -oinen class.

Muotoiseen appears in standard Finnish usage across descriptive, technical, and design-related language, as well as in everyday speech when discussing shapes, forms, or morphology. Its primary function is to attribute a specific form to a noun, conveying that the object is in or characterized by a particular shape.
