muuntajaan

Muuntajaan is the illative singular form of the Finnish noun muuntaja, which means transformer or converter in electrical engineering and related fields. The illative case marks direction toward or into something, so muuntajaan translates roughly to “to the transformer” or “into the transformer.”

In technical writing and manuals, muuntajaan is used to indicate where a cable, connector, or signal should be directed. For example, a directive might read: Kytke johto muuntajaan, meaning “Connect the lead to the transformer.” The form appears in contexts that describe physical placement or connection to a transformer as a destination.

Muuntaja itself denotes a device that changes voltage or current, commonly referred to simply as a transformer. The term is widely used in electrical engineering, power technology, and related disciplines, where precise destination or target labeling is important in diagrams, schematics, and installation instructions.

Related forms include muuntaja (nominative), muuntajan (genitive), and other case forms that participate in Finnish sentence structure. The illative muuntajaan is one of several case-based ways Finnish conveys movement toward objects, with muuntajalle (allative) used to indicate movement toward or contact with a transformer in different contexts.
