Kokeille

Kokeille is the allative plural form of the Finnish noun koe, meaning test or experiment. It functions as the indirect object in sentences, indicating the destination or beneficiary of an action, and is typically translated as “to the tests” or “for the tests.” The form is derived from the plural kokeet (tests) with the Finnish allative ending -ille.

In terms of morphology, kokeille is formed from the plural stem kokeet by adding the allative ending -ille, which marks direction toward or appropriation for the tests in Finnish grammar. This makes kokeille a common construction in formal or technical contexts where tests or experiments are the focus of the action.

Kokeille is used primarily in scientific, educational, or project-report language. Examples include: “Kokeille asetettiin uudet vaatimukset” (New requirements were set for the tests); “Kokeille myönnettiin lisäaikaa” (Extra time was granted to the tests); and “Kokeille varattiin tilat” (Facilities were allocated for the tests). These sentences show how the allative clarifies who or what is benefiting from a measure or being affected by an action.

Notes: kokeille is not a stand-alone lexical item in everyday speech; its meaning depends on context. It relates to kokeet (tests), koe (test, experiment), and the verb kokeilla (to try/experiment). The allative case, including the form kokeille, is a distinctive feature of Finnish grammar used to express destination or benefit in relation to tests or similar entities.
