Hihnoille

Hihnoille is the allative plural form of the Finnish noun hihna, which means a strap, belt, or leash. In Finnish, allative forms indicate direction toward or a relation to something, and hihnoille specifically translates to “to the leashes” or “for the leashes.” The form is a grammatical inflection, not a separate lexical item.

In usage, hihnoille appears in contexts referring to multiple leashes or straps. It can indicate where an action takes place or what something is intended for. Examples include: “Tämä kiinnitetään hihnoille” (This is attached to the leashes) and “hihnoille tarkoitetut lisävarusteet” (accessories intended for leashes). It can also occur in phrases like “käytä tätä hihnoille,” meaning “use this for the leashes.” Because it is a case form, its meaning depends on the verb and the surrounding noun it modifies.

Grammatically, hihnoille is formed from the singular noun hihna with the plural allative suffix -ille, yielding hihnoille for “to/for the leashes.” The singular allative would be hihnalle (to the leash). Hihnoille is commonly seen in dictionaries, instructional text, product descriptions, and linguistic explanations illustrating Finnish case usage with plural nouns.
