taiteilijoihin

Taiteilijoihin is a Finnish illative plural form of taiteilija, meaning “to the artists” or “towards the artists.” It is used to indicate direction toward a group of artists or to refer to something related to artists as a group. The form is created by adding the illative plural suffix -iin to the stem taiteilijo- (derived from taiteilija).

In practice, taiteilijoihin appears in contexts that express relation or destination relating to artists. It is common in phrases such as taiteilijoihin liittyen (in relation to artists) or taiteilijoihin kohdistuva huomio (attention directed at artists). It differs from taiteilijoille, which marks the recipient or target of an action (the artists, as beneficiaries or addressees) rather than a destination or relation.

Etymology and related forms: taiteilijoihin is formed from taiteilija + the illative plural suffix -iin. Related forms include taiteilijaan (illative singular, “to the artist”) and taiteilijat (nominative plural, “the artists”). The illative plural is one of several case forms Finnish uses to indicate direction or relation, and taiteilijoihin is typically found in formal or written contexts discussing groups of artists or topics connected to artists.
