Kokonaisille

Kokonaisille is a Finnish morphological form used to express “to the whole ones” or “for the entire groups.” It is the plural allative form of the stem kokonais-, which comes from the adjective kokonainen meaning “whole” or “entire.” In Finnish grammar, the allative case marks direction toward something or someone, and the plural form -ille indicates this direction applies to multiple entities.

In practice, kokonaisille appears before a noun in the allative plural, for example to refer to multiple groups or items considered as wholes. It is most common in formal or instructional texts, policies, manuals, and organizational communications where the scope is stated as applying to entire groups rather than to individuals. For instance, phrases like kokonaisille ryhmille or kokonaisille järjestelmille indicate that information, support, or requirements pertain to whole groups or systems.

Etymologically, kokonaisille derives from kokonais-, linked to kokonainen “whole” and the general allative suffix -lle. The concept is closely related to other Finnish forms built from the same root, such as the noun kokonaisuus “wholeness, totality.”
