-in

1. Instructive plural suffix.

   kaksin käsin ― with two hands

   paljain silmin ― with bare eyes

   pitkin askelin ― with long steps

   hyvissä ajoin ― in good time

Probably by metathesis.

-in (poetic)

1. A variant for the first-person singular possessive suffix -ni.

   rakkain (for rakkaani)

   syödäksein (for syödäkseni)

The use of this suffix is restricted to cases where it is not preceded by a labial vowel (o, u, y, ö), the vowel i, a long vowel (it is shortened if necessary) or a diphthong (since it itself forms a diphthong). It is not used if the resulting word would be monosyllabic.

From Proto-Finnic *-in (adjectival suffix), a variant of the diminutive suffix Proto-Finnic *-ma.

From Proto-Finnic *-den (genitive plural suffix for some nouns), from the nominative plural ending *-t + genitive ending *-n (with an epenthetic *-e-).

-in (rare)

1. Forms the genitive plural.

• Suffixed to the nominative singular but the final -i changes to -e-.
• Note, however, that the more common suffix for the genitive plural is -en added to the plural stem ending with i or j. A link consonant d is also sometimes present.
• Nowadays this suffix is rare and usually gives an archaic tone. Certain proper nouns, however, retain this, e.g. Yhdysvaltain, from Yhdysvallat ("United States", singular stem Yhdysvalta-), where also the more modern form Yhdysvaltojen is possible.

• -den
• -en
• -n
• -ten
• -tten
