puolistrukturoituihin

Puolistrukturoituihin is a Finnish grammatical form used to describe data or items that are semi-structured. It is the illative plural form of the adjective puolistrukturoitu, meaning semi-structured, and is most often found in written Finnish in IT and data-management contexts.

In Finnish, illative forms indicate direction toward or target and the plural form -ihin/-ihin attaches to a plural noun. When puolistrukturoitu is used with a plural noun in illative case, it becomes puolistrukturoituihin. For example, puolistrukturoituihin tietoihin means “to semi-structured data.” The construction demonstrates how adjectives agree with the noun they modify and how case endings convey grammatical relations.
