seudullisiin

Seudullisiin is a Finnish grammatical form used as the illative plural of the adjective seudullinen, meaning suburban or relating to the suburbs. The root seutu refers to a region or surrounding area, and the suffix -llinen creates adjectives describing something as being of or pertaining to that characteristic. Thus seudullinen describes things connected with the suburbs or peripheral parts of a metropolitan area.

In usage, seudullinen describes places, populations, or phenomena located in the suburban zones. The term is common in urban planning, geography, demography, and regional studies, and it appears in official planning documents and academic writing. While it is less frequent in everyday casual speech, it is encountered in media and literature that discuss outskirts of cities.

Grammatical note: Finnish adjectives agree with nouns in number and case. The illative plural form seudullisiin is used when the modified noun is plural and in the illative case, for example in phrases like seudullisiin alueisiin (to suburban areas) or seudullisiin keskuksiin (to suburban centers).

Examples:

- Tulevaisuuden suunnitelmat kohdistuvat seudullisiin keskuksiin.

- Seudullisiin alueisiin investoidaan infrastruktuuria.
