Raunioihin is a Finnish word that translates to "into ruins" or "to ruins." It is often used in contexts describing the state of decay or destruction of a place or structure. For example, a building that has fallen into disrepair might be described as being "raunioihin," indicating its dilapidated condition. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe the collapse of something abstract, such as a plan or a relationship, suggesting it has been destroyed or rendered useless.

It is a common term in Finnish literature, poetry, and everyday conversation when referring to abandoned historical sites, war-torn areas, or the remnants of former structures. The word's plural form, "rauniot," refers to ruins themselves.
