poliitikkoihin

Poliitikkoihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun poliitikko, meaning politician. It denotes movement toward or into the group of politicians, or more broadly toward politics as a domain. In Finnish grammar, the illative case expresses direction or destination, and the plural form uses the suffix -iin/-ihin, resulting in poliitikkoihin.

The form is used whenever the destination or target of an action is a group of politicians rather than a single politician. It can appear with verbs or constructions that imply going to, contacting, influencing, or directing something at multiple politicians.

Typical examples include:

- Hän otti yhteyttä poliitikoihin. (He contacted politicians.)

- Keskustelu siirtyi poliitikoihin liittyviin kysymyksiin. (The discussion shifted to questions related to politicians.)

- Vaikutus poliitikoihin oli merkittävä. (The influence on politicians was significant.)

Etymology and related forms:

P poliitikkoihin derives from poliitikko (politician) plus the illative plural suffix -iin/-ihin. The corresponding singular illative form is poliitikkoon (to/into the politician). The term is a standard part of Finnish grammar and is used in neutral, descriptive contexts to specify destination or involvement of politicians as a group.
