Asiakkaalle

Asiakkaalle is the allative form of the Finnish noun asiakas (customer) and is used to indicate the recipient or beneficiary of an action. In English, it is commonly translated as “to the customer” or “for the customer.” It appears in sentences where something is directed toward or intended for a customer.

In Finnish, asiakas is declined in several cases, and -lle marks the allative form. The singular form is asiakkaalle, while the plural is asiakkaille. The form is often used with verbs that involve giving, sending, addressing, or providing something to someone, such as lähettää (to send), antaa (to give), vastata (to respond to), or tarjota (to offer).

Usage examples include:

- Lähetän laskun asiakkaalle. (I send the invoice to the customer.)

- Palvelumme on suunnattu asiakkaalle. (Our service is aimed at the customer.)

- Vastaamme asiakkaalle nopeasti. (We respond to the customer quickly.)

Asiakalle is commonly found in customer service, marketing, and product documentation to specify that information, services, or actions are intended for customers. It forms part of a broader set of case-based forms in Finnish that express direction toward people or entities, with the corresponding plural form asiakkaille for multiple recipients. Related terms include asiakas (customer), asiakkuus (customer relationship), and other allative forms used to indicate recipients in various contexts.
