Hakijalle

Hakijalle is a Finnish term used in formal correspondence and administrative contexts to indicate the recipient of information or action: it translates roughly to “to the applicant.” It functions as the allative form of the noun hakija (the applicant).

Grammar and usage

Hakijalle comes from hakija and carries the allative case ending -lle, signaling the recipient or beneficiary of an action. In official letters and forms, it is commonly used to label the address block or the target of a decision or notification. For example, a decision might be issued “Hakijalle,” meaning the decision is addressed to the applicant. In plural form, the equivalent would be hakijoille.

Context and register

Hakijalle is part of a formal administrative register. It appears in government agencies, municipalities, universities, and other organizations when addressing or informing an individual applicant. It is not typically used in casual speech; in everyday writing, one would usually use the person’s name or address instead of this label.

Examples

Common usages include: “Hakijalle osoitetaan päätös,” meaning a decision is addressed to the applicant; “Tiedoksi Hakijalle,” indicating information for the applicant. When multiple applicants are involved, the plural form hakijoille is used.

Related terms

Hakija refers to the applicant. Other recipient-related forms include osoite (address) and the broader concept of official correspondence practices in Finnish administration.
