virhekoodiin

Virhekoodiin is the illative case form of the Finnish noun virhekoodi, meaning “to an error code” or “into an error code.” It is used to indicate direction toward something or the target of an action in Finnish grammar, and it commonly appears in technical or user-facing contexts when referring to an error code.

Morphology and etymology

Virhekoodi combines virhe (error) and koodi (code). The illative singular suffix -iin attaches to virhekoodi to produce virhekoodiin (the noun in the illative). This form is part of the standard Finnish case system; the nominative would be virhekoodi, and other cases have their own endings.

Usage

In technical writing and software documentation, virhekoodiin can describe actions or references directed at an error code. For example, phrases like lisätietoja virhekoodiin liittyvistä ohjeista (“further information about the instructions related to the error code”) illustrate how the illative indicates the target area of interest. The form is commonly found in logs, manuals, and interface texts where the error code is the focal point of instructions or explanations.

Note

Like other illative forms, virhekoodiin reflects movement toward or focus on a concept rather than a physical location. Its exact usage can vary with sentence structure, but it remains a typical way to reference an error code in Finnish technical language.
