Edulliselle

Edulliselle is the allative singular form of the Finnish adjective edullinen, meaning affordable or economical. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify, and the suffix -lle marks the allative case, which can indicate direction toward something, a recipient, or a target, and is often translated as “for” or “to” in English within appropriate contexts.

Morphology and usage

Edullinen combines with a noun to form phrases such as edulliselle hinnalle, edulliselle asiakkaalle, or edulliselle tuotteelle. The allative form is used in contexts where one speaks about offering or directing something toward a bargain-friendly target. This form is common in consumer language, marketing, and promotional text to emphasize value or low cost.

Examples

Tarjous on suunnattu edulliselle asiakkaalle. (The offer is aimed at the price-conscious customer.)

Tuotteet on hinnoiteltu edulliselle hinnalle. (The products are priced for an affordable price.)

Etymology and related forms

Edulliselle derives from edullinen, a native Finnish adjective. The form illustrates Finnish’s rich case system, where adjectives take case endings just as nouns do. Related forms include other allative constructions with edullinen, such as edulliselle tuotteelle or edulliselle vaihtoehdolle, depending on the noun they modify.
