Katselijoille

Katselijoille is the plural allative form of the Finnish noun katselija, meaning viewer or spectator. In Finnish grammar, the allative case marks direction toward someone or something or indicates that something is intended for that person or group. Therefore katselijoille translates to “to the viewers” or “for the viewers” and is used to refer to an audience or recipients in relation to a statement, program, or action.

Usage in context

Katselijoille is commonly used in media, performances, events, and communications to specify the target audience or the intended recipients of information or content. It helps indicate who the content is directed at or who should receive or benefit from it. The form is especially frequent in television programs, broadcasts, public notices, and online content where the audience is central to the message.

Grammatical notes

Katselija the noun forms a set where the nominative plural is katselijat, the genitive plural is katselijoiden, and the allative plural is katselijoille. These forms illustrate how Finnish uses case endings to express grammatical relationships such as plurality, possession, and recipients.

Examples

- Tämä ohjelma on suunnattu katselijoille. (This program is designed for the viewers.)

- Katselijoille tarkoitetut ohjeet löytyvät sivustolta. (Instructions intended for the viewers are found on the site.)

- Keskustelu on avoin katselijoille. (The discussion is open to the viewers.)

Katselijoille thus functions as a concise way to designate the audience or beneficiaries in Finnish sentences, reflecting the language’s case-based approach to indicating direction and purpose.
