vuosilukuun

Vuosilukuun is a Finnish term that translates to "to the year" or "into the year". It is a grammatical case ending in the Finnish language, specifically the illative case. This case is used to indicate movement or transition into a state or location. When applied to a year, "vuosilukuun" signifies entering or reaching a particular year.

For instance, if one says "vuoteen 2025", it means "into the year 2025". This phrase would be used in sentences describing future events or goals intended to occur within or by that specific year. The illative case is formed by adding the suffix "-Vn" (where V is a vowel that harmonizes with the preceding vowel) to the stem of the noun. In the case of "vuosi" (year), the illative form is "vuoteen".

The usage of "vuosilukuun" is common in discussions about planning, predictions, or timelines. It's a straightforward grammatical construct that clearly defines the temporal boundary for an action or event. While the literal translation is "to the year," its practical application implies a transition or arrival at that point in time.
