vammoihin

Vammoihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun vamma, meaning injury or disability. In Finnish, the illative case marks direction toward something, and vammoihin specifically denotes “into injuries” or “to injuries” when referring to multiple injuries. The form is most commonly encountered in written Finnish, particularly in discussions of injuries or injury-related topics.

Etymology and construction: The base stem is vamma-, and the illative plural suffix is -iin, yielding vammoihin. This pattern fits Finnish noun inflection, where the illative plural expresses movement toward multiple injuries or a discussion of injuries as a broad category. Related forms include vammat (nominative plural), vamman (genitive singular), and vammaan (illative singular).

Usage: Because the illative plural conveys a directional or relational meaning, vammoihin appears mainly in formal or technical registers—medical, legal, or academic writing—rather than in everyday speech. It is common in phrases such as vammoihin liittyviä tutkimuksia (“injury-related studies”) or vammoihin johtuvia komplikaatioita (“complications arising from injuries”).
