toivomuksiin

Toivomuksiin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun toivomus, meaning a wish or desire. The illative case marks direction toward something, and in the plural it refers to movement into or inclusion within multiple wishes or within the realm of wishes. The base noun toivomus comes from toivo (hope).

In Finnish, the illative plural is formed by adding the suffix -iin to the stem, here producing toivomuksiin. The corresponding nominative plural is toivomukset, and the singular illative is toivomukseen. The form toivomuksiin appears primarily in written or formal language and in contexts where multiple wishes or expectations are being discussed.

Usage notes: toivomuksiin is used when referring to wishes or demands that are treated as a collective domain or set of expectations. It is common in planning, negotiations, policy discussions, or analyses that consider what groups or stakeholders wish to achieve. The phrase can occur in constructions such as toivomuksiin liittyvät näkökulmat (“aspects related to wishes”) or toivomuksiin viitaten (“with reference to wishes”). It is less frequent in everyday spoken Finnish.

Examples:

- Keskustelussa otetaan huomioon toivomuksiin liittyvät näkökulmat.

- Budjetissa on pyritty vastaamaan asiakkaiden toivomuksiin.
