Datapisteille

Datapisteille is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the allative plural of the noun datapiste, meaning data point. Datapiste itself is a compound of data and piste (point). The form datapisteille signals direction toward multiple data points, for example when data is being sent to or addressed to data points within a dataset or measurement collection.

In Finnish, the allative case expresses movement toward or destination: datapisteille indicates “to data points” or “onto data points” in plural. It is used when the target or endpoint of an action is a set of data points rather than a single point. The form is primarily encountered in technical or data-related contexts, such as data processing, analytics, or sensor networks, where data points are treated as discrete targets or places for data to be directed or collected.

Usage considerations include distinguishing datapisteille from singular forms such as datapisteelle (to a data point) and from non-directional phrases referring to data points in a descriptive sense. Because datapiste is a borrowed compound, its inflection follows standard Finnish plural and case patterns, and datapisteille preserves the clarity of the destination in sentences involving data flow or targeting multiple points.

Examples:

- Tiedot lähetetään datapisteille analysointia varten.

- Mittaustulokset ohjataan datapisteille konsolidointia varten.

- Raportti näyttää datapisteille kohdistuvan trendejä analysoitaessa.
