pluraaliin

Pluraaliin is the illative singular form of the Finnish noun pluraali, meaning into or toward the plural. The noun pluraali denotes the grammatical category of number known as plural and is used in linguistic and grammatical discussions to refer to plural forms rather than singular. The illative is a case that expresses movement into or toward something, and in Finnish forms it is used with a wide range of nouns to indicate direction or goal.

The form pluraaliin is created by attaching the illative suffix -iin to the stem pluraali. This follows standard Finnish vowel harmony rules. The resulting form is used primarily in linguistic descriptions or in examples illustrating how the illative case operates on nouns that denote a plural or a group.

In practice, pluraaliin would appear in grammars, glossaries, or language-learning materials that discuss Finnish case systems or the concept of plurality in Finnish. It is not a common everyday word outside technical contexts, but it serves as a valid illative form of pluraali.
