oikaistuihin

Oikaistuihin is a Finnish word formed from the verb oikaista, meaning to correct or to adjust. It is the illative plural form of the past passive participle oikaistu (corrected). In this use, oikaistuihin refers to “to the corrected ones” or “to those things that have been corrected,” and it appears in sentences where the group of corrected items is being referenced in the illative case.

Morphology and formation are typical of Finnish participial inflection. The base participle oikaistu carries the meaning “corrected,” and adding the illative plural ending -iin (resulting in -iin/-ihin variations in pronunciation and spelling) yields oikaistuihin. The form thus marks both plurality and a directional or applicative sense toward the corrected items within a sentence.

Usage and context are mainly formal, technical, or editorial. Oikaistuihin tends to appear in written Finnish when discussing data, documents, or texts that have undergone correction and when the speaker or writer needs to indicate the group of items receiving that correction. It is less common in everyday spoken language, where simpler constructions or different case forms would be preferred.

Related terms include oikaistu (the past passive participle meaning “corrected”), oikaistus (the noun form “correction” or “adjustment”), and oikaista (the verb “to correct” or “to adjust”). Oikaistuihin serves as a specific inflected form within this family, illustrating how Finnish participles can take case and number endings to express grammatical relationships in formal contexts.
