suurennukseen

Suurennukseen is the illative singular form of the Finnish noun suurennus. Suurennus refers to enlargement or magnification, such as making an image, a drawing, or a sample larger, and to the resulting enlarged form. The term is used across photography, printing, microscopy, and design to describe the process or result of increasing size. The noun is derived from the verb suurentaa (to enlarge) with the usual Finnish noun suffix -us, linked to the root suur- meaning large.

In practical use, suurennus covers several contexts. In photography and printing, it denotes enlarging a picture or document. In microscopy and scientific work, it refers to magnification levels or procedures that reveal finer detail. In architectural or product design, it can describe scaling up plans or models. The illative form suurennukseen is used to indicate direction toward enlargement, purpose, or target of enlargement, and appears in phrases that express what something is used for or intended to achieve.

Examples of usage are common in technical and instructional language. For instance, Kuvien suurennukseen käytetään tätä laitetta means “This device is used for photo enlargement.” Another form, such as tarkoitettu suurennukseen, describes intended use for enlargement. In everyday Finnish, the base words suurennus or suurentaminen are more frequent for referring to enlargement as a concept, while suurennukseen appears in contexts specifying the direction or purpose of enlargement.
