Evaluoinnille

Evaluoinnille is a Finnish noun form that represents the allative case of evaluointi, meaning “for the evaluation” or “to the evaluation.” It is used in contexts where the evaluation is the target, purpose, or beneficiary of an action, rather than the act of evaluating itself.

Grammatical role and usage are typical of Finnish morphology: evaluointi is the base noun, and adding the -lle suffix shifts the meaning toward a directional or purposive relation with the evaluation. Common constructions include phrases like “Hankkeen evaluoinnille asetettiin selkeät kriteerit,” meaning that clear criteria were set for the evaluation of the project. Another example is “Tutkimuksen evaluoinnille on varattu erillinen budjetti,” indicating a separate budget allocated for the evaluation of the study. The form can also appear with verbs that imply directing resources, attention, or requirements toward the evaluation.

In practice, evaluoinnille is mostly found in formal or administrative language, such as project planning documents, grant applications, or evaluation reports. It is not a separate concept apart from evaluointi; rather, it expresses a grammatical relation to the evaluation process. The term can be translated as “for the evaluation” or “to the evaluation,” depending on the sentence. Related terms include evaluointi (evaluation) and arviointi (assessment), which may be used in similar contexts with different nuances.
