systeemisiin

Systeemisiin is a Finnish morphological form that functions as the illative plural of the adjective systeeminen, meaning systemic or system-based. It is used with plural nouns to indicate movement toward or into aspects that pertain to a system as a whole, rather than to individual parts.

In Finnish grammar, -isiin marks the illative plural, which often translates roughly as “to systemic …” in English. When paired with a plural noun, such as toimenpiteisiin (measures), ratkaisuihin (solutions), or ongelmiin (problems), systeemisiin specifies that the action or consideration relates to the system rather than to separate components. The usage is common in technical, scientific, organizational, and policy contexts.

Semantically, systeeminen refers to characteristics, processes, or approaches that encompass or affect an entire system—biological, ecological, technological, or social. The form systeemisiin appears frequently in discussions about system-wide strategies, diagnostics, or reforms, and it contrasts with more component- or purely local-focused terms.

Etymology traces zaak to the noun system (“systeemi”) and the adjective form systeeminen, which has become established in Finnish to describe things that are holistic or structural at the level of an entire system. Related terms include systeeminen sairaus (systemic disease), systeeminen lähestymistapa (systemic approach), and the noun systeemi (system).
