Aavikoille

Aavikoille is the plural allative form of the Finnish noun aavikko, meaning desert. It expresses direction toward deserts and is used with verbs of motion or movement to indicate going toward or toward the deserts.

Formation and grammar: the base noun is aavikko. In the nominative plural it becomes aavikot. To form the plural allative, the suffix -ille is added: aavikot + -ille = aavikoille. This form is used when referring to towardness to multiple deserts.

Usage: aavikoille appears in contexts describing travel, direction, or movement toward deserts. Examples include sentences like Matkustimme aavikoille, meaning "We traveled to the deserts." It can also appear in descriptive or narrative texts about expeditions, routes, or journeys toward arid regions.

Notes: as a grammatical form, aavikoille does not denote a separate semantic category beyond its directional meaning. Its precise interpretation depends on the surrounding verb and context. The corresponding illative or other allative/illative forms of aavikko (such as aavikkoon for into a desert, aavikkoihin for into deserts, and aavikkoille for toward deserts) are used to express different directional nuances.
