Jatkamiselle

Jatkamiselle is a Finnish linguistic term describing the allative form of the noun jatkaminen, which means continuation or extension. The allative case, marked by the suffix -lle, indicates direction toward a goal, destination, or purpose. Thus jatkamiselle literally means “for the continuation” or “toward continuation” and is used to refer to resources, measures, or policies aimed at enabling or sustaining a continuation of something.

Grammar and usage: Jatkamiselle is formed by adding the allative suffix -lle to the noun jatkaminen. It is typically found in formal or technical texts such as contracts, legislative language, project descriptions, or academic writing. In everyday Finnish, expressions of continuation are usually conveyed with alternative constructions, but jatkamiselle appears when the speaker wants to emphasize the intended direction or purpose toward continuation.

Examples of usage include phrases such as jatkamiselle varattu budjetti (a budget allocated for continuation or for ongoing operations), jatkamiselle tarkoitetut toimenpiteet (measures intended for continuation), and jatkamiselle suunnatut suunnitelmat (plans aimed at continuation). The form can also appear in discussions about funding, programs, or policies that seek to maintain or extend current activities.

Notes: Jatkamiselle is one of several allative forms in Finnish that express purpose, destination, or beneficiary. Its use is most common in contexts requiring precise referents to targeted continuation or persistence of a process, program, or state.
