synonyymeihin

Synonyymeihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun synonyymi, meaning “synonym.” The form is used when the sentence requires movement toward or reference to a group of synonyms. It is built from the stem synonyymi with the illative plural suffix -eihin, reflecting Finnish case and number harmony.

In usage, synonyymeihin appears mainly in written or formal contexts such as linguistic discussions, dictionaries, or academic prose. It is less common in everyday speech than the base noun, and its function is not different from that of the nominative plural in sentences that do not require illative meaning; it simply carries the sense of “into/onto the synonyms” or “toward the group of synonyms” as dictated by the verb or preposition.

A typical example is the sentence: Tutkimus kohdistuu synonyymeihin, meaning “The study focuses on the synonyms.” This illustrates the illative plural form indicating the target set of words being discussed.

Etymology and form: The root synonyymi comes from Greek roots meaning “together name,” via Finnish adaptation. The plural illative suffix -eihin attaches to the stem to express direction toward a plural set of synonyms.

Related terms include synonyymi (singular) and synonyymit (nominative plural). In broader grammar, synonyymeihin is part of how Finnish marks direction and grouping with inflected noun forms in sentence structure.
