Erikoisille

Erikoisille is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the adjective erikoinen, meaning special or particular. It represents the allative plural form and is used to indicate that something is intended for a specific group or for particular purposes. In practice, erikoisille functions to mark target audiences or usage contexts, rather than serving as a standalone noun.

In usage, erikoisille appears in phrases that describe suitability or allocation to specialized groups. It is commonly found in product descriptions, manuals, and marketing or official text where something is earmarked for a specialized audience or for specific use cases. Examples include erikoisille käyttäjille tarkoitetut ohjelmistot (software intended for specialized users) or erikoisille käyttötilanteille suunnitellut laitteet (devices designed for special usage scenarios). In such phrases the noun that follows is typically plural and the erikoisille form anchors the intended recipient or purpose.

Grammatically, erikoisille is an inflected form of erikoinen that agrees with the surrounding noun in number and case. It is not a separate root word, but part of the adjective’s declined forms used to convey targeting. The form frequently appears with ellipses or implicit nouns, making it a compact label for targeted or specialized content. Its meaning can be paraphrased as “for the special ones” or “for special purposes.”
