tärinöihin

Tärinöihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun tärinö, meaning tremors or vibrations. The illative case in Finnish marks direction toward something, and in its plural form it is used to refer to phenomena, states, or processes related to tremors rather than to tremors as discrete events. In everyday Finnish the form appears primarily in technical or scientific contexts.

Morphology and usage: The base noun is tärinö; the plural nominative is tärinöt and the genitive plural is tärinöiden. The illative plural takes the ending -iin, giving tärinöihin. The phrase tärinöihin liittyvät ilmiöt means “phenomena related to tremors” and is common in geophysics, seismology, and engineering discussions. This form is an example of how Finnish often links a relationship to a noun by using the illative plural to express “toward” or “related to” in descriptive phrases.

Examples: Tärinöihin liittyvät ilmiöt voivat johtua useista tekijöistä, kuten maanjäristyksistä tai suurista ihmisen aiheuttamista tärinöistä. Geofysiikassa tutkijat mittaavat tärinöihin liittyviä parametreja, kuten amplitudi ja taajuus, saadakseen paremman käsityksen rakenteista ja prosesseista.

Notes: tärinöihin is a grammatical form rather than a separate concept. Its meaning relies on context, and it demonstrates Finnish’s rich inflectional system for expressing relations between nouns in scientific and descriptive language.
