tilkkutäkkisiin

Tilkkutäkkisiin is a Finnish inflected form linked to the noun tilkkutäkki, meaning patchwork quilt. The base concept in Finnish is tilkkutäkki (a quilt made from many fabric patches) and the related adjective tilkkutäinen/tilkkutäkkinen (patchwork-like). Tilkkutäkkisiin itself is a plural form used in specific grammatical contexts to describe objects or designs associated with patchwork textiles, often conveying a sense of direction or inclusion in patchwork fabrics or works, depending on the sentence.

In Finnish grammar, tilkkutäkkisiin functions as a form that can occur with nouns in constructions that express motion toward or involvement with something, such as illative or related cases. For example, it may appear as part of phrases like tilkkutäkkisiin kankaisiin (into patchwork fabrics) or tilkkutäkkisiin töihin (into patchwork works). The precise meaning is determined by the accompanying noun and the overall sentence context. It is not a standalone concept with a fixed, independent definition; rather, it is a grammatical variant of a larger family of terms that describe patchwork textiles.

Usage tends to be found in textile writing, craft catalogs, pattern descriptions, and literary descriptions of fabrics. The form helps speakers tailor their description to quantity, direction, or involvement with patchwork textiles. Overall, tilkkutäkkisiin illustrates how Finnish inflection can produce nuanced descriptors for design and craft materials without creating a separate lexical entry beyond tilkkutäkki and tilkkutäkkinen.
