Kodinkoneille

Kodinkoneille is a Finnish noun-form meaning “for household appliances” and represents the allative (dative) case form of kodinkone, which means a household appliance. The form is used in Finnish to indicate that something is intended for, directed toward, or compatible with household appliances, and it commonly appears on product labels, user manuals, and compatibility lists.

Etymology and grammar: The base word kodinkone combines kodin (home) and kone (machine). The suffix -ille marks the allative case, used to express direction, recipient, or purpose. In practice, kodinkoneille is used to phrase “for household appliances” or “to household appliances” in contexts such as “yhteensopiva kodinkoneille” (compatible with household appliances) and “kodinkoneille tarkoitettu lisävaruste” (an accessory intended for household appliances).

Usage: In retail and manuals, kodinkoneille signals that a device or accessory targets home appliances rather than people or rooms. Examples include: “Laite on suunniteltu kodinkoneille” (The device is designed for household appliances) and “Tämä lisävaruste on tarkoitettu kodinkoneille” (This accessory is intended for household appliances).

Linguistic note: In Finnish grammar, -ille is the allative case, used to indicate direction toward or purpose for something. Kodinkoneille illustrates how compound nouns and case endings convey intended use in product labeling and technical language.
