Kaatumisille

Kaatumisille is a Finnish term formed as the allative plural of the noun kaatuminen, which means falling or the act of falling. The allative case, marked by the suffix -lle, indicates direction toward or the target of an action. In practical use, kaatumisille is often found in safety, health, and research language to refer to falls as an event that people can be exposed to or at which certain factors act.

In safety and health contexts kaatumisille is commonly seen with verbs and nouns that express exposure, risk, or prevention. For example, kaatumisille altistuminen means exposure to falls, and kaatumisille altistuvia tekijöitä refers to factors that predispose people to falls. The phrase highlights the relationship between certain conditions (such as slippery floors or poor lighting) and the occurrence of falls. Another typical construction is kaatumisille altistuvien riskitekijöiden kartoittaminen, meaning the identification of risk factors for falls.

Grammatically, kaatumisille is the allative form used to indicate the target or recipient of an action relative to kaatuminen (falling). It is most common in formal or technical Finnish, including occupational safety guidelines, medical texts, and statistical reports. In everyday speech, forms related to kaatuminen in other cases (such as kaatumisten or kaatumisesta) are more frequent.
