Desinfektanteille

Desinfektanteille is a Finnish allative plural form derived from the loanword desinfektantti, meaning disinfectant. The form corresponds to “to the disinfectants” or “for the disinfectants” and is used to indicate direction, destination, or recipient in contexts involving multiple disinfectants. It commonly appears in technical, linguistic, or labeling texts rather than in everyday speech.

In Finnish, the allative case expresses movement toward or placement at a location, or the beneficiary of an action. For loanwords with a stem ending in -ti, the allative plural can appear as desinfektanteille. The singular allative would be desinfektantille, and the plural form desinfektanteille is used when referring to several disinfectants.

Usage notes: Because desinfektanteille is tied to a loanword and a specific case form, it may be unfamiliar outside technical or linguistic contexts. In standard prose, speakers often rephrase to avoid ambiguous allative forms, such as desinfektanteille tarkoitetut ohjeet (instructions intended for disinfectants) or desinfektanteille tarkoitetut valmisteet (preparations intended for disinfectants).

Example sentences:

- Desinfektanteille tarkoitetut liuokset on merkitty erillisellä etikettillä.

- Hylly desinfektanteille on varustettu selkeällä merkinnällä.

Translations: to the disinfectants; for the disinfectants.
