myöhästymisiin

Myöhästymisiin is a Finnish grammatical form referring to lateness or delays. It is the illative plural form of the noun myöhästyminen, which denotes the act or state of becoming late. In practice, myöhästymisiin appears in contexts where lateness is discussed as a topic, such as consequences, factors, or procedures related to late arrivals or delays.

Formation and meaning. The form is derived from myöhästyminen by adding the illative plural suffix -iin, producing myöhästymisiin. This construction is used to indicate a relation to lateness that is directional or thematic, for example when referring to lateness as a phenomenon under consideration.

Usage and examples. Myöhästymisiin is common in formal writing, such as reports, guidelines, and academic texts, where multiple instances or aspects of lateness are being addressed. Example sentences include: “Myöhästymisiin liittyvät seuraamukset vaihtelevat oppilaitoksittain.” and “Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan myöhästymisiin liittyvien tekijöiden vaikutusta suorituksiin.” In everyday speech, speakers more often use the singular myöhästyminen or verb phrases like myöhästyä rather than the illative plural.

See also. Related terms include myöhästyminen (lateness), myöhästyä (to be late), and myöhästelystä (late running or delays, depending on context). The form is one of several case endings used to express relationships to a concept of lateness in Finnish.
