tekniseen

Tekniseen is the illative singular form of the Finnish adjective tekninen, meaning technical or of technology. It functions as part of a noun phrase when the associated noun is in illative case, indicating movement toward or reference to a technical context or aspect. For example, tekniseen kontekstiin translates roughly as "into a technical context."
