virheettömiin

Virheettömiin is a Finnish grammatical form of the adjective virheetön, meaning "without mistakes" or "flawless." It represents the illative plural form used when the adjective modifies a plural noun in the illative case (the case used to indicate direction into something). In other words, virheettömiin describes plural nouns into which something is moving or directed, with the sense of “to flawless [things/actions]” or “into flawless targets.”

Etymology and morphology

The root virheetön derives from virhe, “mistake,” with the negative suffix -tö- and the adjectival ending -n. The final -iin is the plural illative ending in Finnish. Thus virheettömiin is built from virheetön plus the illative plural ending, signaling a plural noun in motion or a directional illative context.

Grammar

Finnish adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. When the noun is plural and in the illative case, the corresponding adjective form ends in -iin, giving virheettömiin. Example constructions include virheettömiin kohteisiin (to flawless targets) or virheettömiin suunnitelmiin (into flawless plans). The form is not a separate word but an inflected variant of virheetön.

Usage

Virheettömiin tends to appear in more formal, technical, or literary registers where specific directional or evaluative phrasing is required. It is relatively rare in everyday speech, where simpler phrases such as virheettömät kohteet (flawless targets) in nominative stay common.
