tekstikokoelmiin

tekstikokoelmiin is the illative plural form of the Finnish compound noun tekstikokoelma, meaning “text collection” or “corpus.” In Finnish grammar, the illative case marks direction or movement into something; therefore tekstikokoelmiin translates to “into the text collections” or “to the text collections,” often referring to multiple collections.

The base components are teksti (text) and kokoelma (collection). In nominative plural the form is tekstikokoelmat, while the illative plural adds the suffix -iin to yield tekstikokoelmiin. The construction illustrates Finnish compound formation and case endings, with the meaning determined by the verb or context of movement toward the collections.

In scholarly and library contexts, tekstikokoelmiin is used when discussing corpus construction, data organization, or the processing of texts that are moved into or organized within multiple corpora. For example, researchers may state that data are “jaettu useisiin tekstikokoelmiin” (divided into several text collections) or that materials are stored “tekstikokoelmiin” for analysis. The term is most common in disciplines such as corpus linguistics, digital humanities, and information science, where large sets of textual data are systematically compiled and analyzed.

Related terms include tekstikokoelma (text collection) and tekstikorpus (text corpus), with kokoelmat (collections) and korpukset (corpora) serving as plural forms in other syntactic roles. The illative form tekstikokoelmiin is a standard grammatical construction in Finnish for indicating destination or inclusion within multiple collections.
