ohjeisiin

Ohjeisiin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun ohje, meaning instruction, guideline, or directive. The form expresses movement toward or reference to a collection of instructions and is used in contexts such as manuals, safety notes, and procedural texts. In English, it would correspond to phrases like “to the instructions” or “into the instructions.”

In Finnish grammar, ohje declines through cases, and the illative plural ends with -iin, producing ohjeisiin. The base word ohje is combined with case endings to convey direction or reference, not merely plurality. The distinction between singular and plural forms is a regular feature of Finnish noun inflection, and ohjeisiin specifically signals engagement with multiple instructions or a body of guidelines.

Usage and context

Ohjeisiin is common in written Finnish, particularly in technical, administrative, and instructional materials where authors refer to, rely on, or direct readers toward guidelines. It often appears with verbs such as viitata (to refer to) and tukeutua (to rely on) or in phrases like ohjeisiin viittaaminen and ohjeisiin tukeutuminen. For example: Käyttäjäohjeisiin viitataan ohjelman asennusohjeissa. Ohjeisiin tukeutuminen on tärkeää turvallisuuden kannalta. These usages emphasize consultation or adherence to a specified set of instructions.
