Epäjatkuville

Epäjatkuville is a Finnish grammatical form: it is the allative plural ending attached to the adjective epäjatkuva, meaning discontinuous or not continuous. In this form, the adjective modifies a plural noun in the allative case, commonly indicating “to/for the discontinuous [things]” or “intended for discontinuous areas.” The form reflects how Finnish adjectives agree with the noun they describe in number and case.

Morphology and usage

The base adjective epäjatkuva combines the prefix epä- (not) with jatkuva (continuous). When used with plural nouns in the allative, the ending -ille is added, producing epäjatkuville. This form is typically found in formal or descriptive contexts, such as planning, research, or technical writing, where authors discuss targets, measures, or arrangements directed at multiple locations or categories described as discontinuous.

Examples

- epäjatkuville alueille tarkoitetut tilat (facilities intended for discontinuous areas)

- epäjatkuville alueille suunnatut hankkeet (projects aimed at discontinuous areas)

Etymology and related forms

Epäjatkuva derives from epä- + jatkuva, meaning “discontinuous.” Related forms include epäjatkuva (base form), epäjatkuvuus (discontinuity), and other case/number variations of the adjective to modify different nouns.

Notes

Epätkuntua, or its variations, are relatively specialized and appear most often in descriptive or technical Finnish rather than everyday speech. The allative plural form epäjatkuville is one of several inflected forms that allow precise specification of targets or beneficiaries in plural contexts.
