Äänisäilöihin

Äänisäilöihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun äänisäilö, a compound of ääni (sound) and säilö (storage, container). The term can refer to a storage location or device for audio materials, and its exact meaning depends on context, covering both physical storage media and digital repositories.

Form and meaning: äänisäilö derives from combining sound with storage. The suffix -iin indicates direction toward multiple containers or locations, so äänisäilöihin translates roughly as “into audio storages” or “into audio archives.” The form is commonly encountered in written Finnish when describing actions that move recordings into storage facilities.

Usage: In archival science, library work, and digital preservation, äänisäilöihin may be used to describe the process of placing recordings into appropriate storage systems. It can refer to transferring material to physical shelves containing audio media or to digital repositories designed for long-term preservation. The term emphasizes the custodial aspect of handling audio materials within an organized archive.

Examples:

- Tiedostot siirrettiin äänisäilöihin projektin loppuun mennessä.

- Materiaali oli arkistoitava äänisäilöihin ennen pitkäaikaissäilytystä.

Translations: The files were transferred into audio storages by the end of the project. The material had to be archived into audio storage before long-term preservation.
