siirtomuotoon
Siirtomuotoon is a term used in Finnish linguistics to describe the illative form of the noun siirtomuoto, literally meaning "into the transfer form." The element siirt- comes from siirtää, to transfer or move, and muoto means form. In Finnish grammar, the illative case marks movement into a destination or into a state, and siirtomuotoon signals movement toward a transfer-related form within a description of a process.
The concept is primarily found in analytical writings on morphology and syntax rather than in everyday language.
Example usage in a descriptive or instructional context might be: Tiedot siirretään siirtomuotoon tässä vaiheessa prosessia.
