puistoon

Puistoon is the illative singular form of the Finnish noun puisto, meaning “park.” It is used to express movement toward a park or a direction toward that location.

In Finnish grammar, the illative case indicates motion into a place. The illative singular commonly ends in -oon, -öön, -uun, etc., depending on vowel harmony. For the word puisto, the form is puistoon. This form is typically used with verbs of motion, to indicate that someone is going toward the park.

Usage examples include sentences such as “Menen puistoon,” which translates to “I am going to the park” or “I’m heading to the park.” The illative contrasts with other cases that express location rather than movement toward it. For instance, puistossa means “in the park,” while puistosta means “out of the park.”

In everyday Finnish, puistoon is a common and standard way to specify direction when talking about visiting a park or moving toward a park location. Its use is tied to verbs of movement and to contexts where a destination is being indicated.
