objektiivisiin

Objektiivisiin is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective objektiivinen, meaning objective or impartial. It is the illative plural form, used when the noun it modifies is plural and in the illative case (into something). In Finnish, adjectives decline to match the noun in number and case, so objektiivisiin appears with plural nouns in illative, such as havaintoihin, tuloksiin, or arvioihin.

Examples of use include objektiivisiin havaintoihin (into objective observations), objektiivisiin tuloksiin (into objective results), and objektiivisiin arvioihin (into objective assessments). The form is created from the stem objektiivis- plus the illative plural suffix -iin. This pattern is analogous to other illative plural forms in Finnish, such as isoihin taloihin (into large houses).

Objektiivisiin is not a separate lexical item but a grammatical variant of objektiivinen. Its appearance signals that the described noun is plural and in illative case, often used to indicate direction or focus toward objective aspects, data, or conclusions. The corresponding nominative plural form is objektiiviset.

Etymology: objektiivinen derives from the concept of objectivity, with the Finnish form likely adopted through linguistic contact with European languages featuring the word for objective. The illative plural suffix -iin is a standard ending for many Finnic adjectives when modifying plural nouns in illative.

Usage notes: The term is common in academic, analytical, and journalistic Finnish when emphasizing objectivity or directing attention toward objective components of a discussion or dataset. Writers choose either objektiivisiin (illative plural) or objektiiviset (nominative plural) to match the noun and its grammatical role in the sentence.
