tuomioon

Tuomioon is the illative form of the Finnish noun tuomio, which means "verdict", "sentence" or "judgment". In Finnish grammar the illative case expresses movement into or toward something; tuomioon therefore carries the sense "into a verdict" or "to a conviction" and is used to indicate direction, result or goal in both literal and figurative contexts.

The form is derived from the stem tuomio- with the illative ending -on, giving tuomioon. It appears primarily in legal and journalistic language when describing outcomes of trials, as well as in idiomatic expressions that convey being subjected to judgment or condemnation. Related forms of the noun include the nominative tuomio and the genitive tuomion. The verb tuomita ("to judge, sentence, convict") is etymologically and semantically related.

Usage examples include phrases that describe evidence or actions that lead to a conviction, for instance "tuomioon johtaneet todisteet" ("the evidence that led to a conviction"). As with other Finnish cases, the illative is one element in a rich case system that helps encode relationships usually expressed by prepositions in Indo-European languages.
