Finnish adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. When used with plural nouns in the illative, the adjective takes a form that often ends in -iin or a closely related ending, producing appearances such as välittöviin or välittömiin depending on the noun class and phonological harmony. The most common function of välittöviin is to emphasize urgency or immediacy in policy, administrative, or journalistic language.
