Ilmentämiselle

Ilmentämiselle is a Finnish linguistic term that denotes the allative case form of the noun ilmentäminen. Ilmentäminen is a deverbal noun formed from the verb ilmentää, meaning to manifest or reveal. The suffix -minen creates an abstract noun referring to the act or process of manifestation, and the further attaching of the allative suffix -lle yields ilmentämiselle, indicating direction toward a recipient, target, or beneficiary, or sometimes a purpose in abstract constructions.

In usage, ilmentämiselle appears in contexts where the act of manifestation is described as directed at or relevant to something else. It is commonly found in philosophical, theoretical, or technical Finnish rather than in everyday speech. The form helps to articulate who or what the manifestation is aimed at, or what purpose the manifestation serves within a given argument or description.

Grammatical notes: The allative form ilmentämiselle is created by applying the -lle suffix to the deverbal noun ilmentäminen, producing a nominal phrase that can function as a target or beneficiary in sentences. Like other allative forms, its exact interpretation depends on context and accompanying words, such as verbs or prepositional phrases that clarify the relationship between the manifestation and its recipient or purpose.
