Kokoontumiselle

Kokoontumiselle is the allative form of the Finnish noun kokoontuminen, meaning gathering or assembly. It denotes movement toward or the destination of an event, roughly corresponding to the English expression “to the gathering.” The form is used when indicating where someone is going or where an action is directed, for example in phrases about attending a protest, meeting, or other collective event.

In Finnish grammar, the suffix -lle marks a destination or target. Kokoontumiselle is therefore commonly used with verbs of motion such as mennä (to go) or tulla (to come), and in formal or administrative contexts that describe attendance, access, or arrangements related to a gathering. The form is singular; the plural would be kokoontumisille to refer to multiple gatherings. It can appear in notices, news reports, or event communications to specify the venue or purpose of a gathering.

Examples include: “Olen menossa kokoontumiselle.” (I am going to the gathering.) “Kokoontumiselle saapuvien tulee noudattaa ohjeita.” (Those arriving for the gathering must follow the instructions.) “Järjestäjä varaa tilat kokoontumiselle.” (The organizer reserves space for the gathering.)

Notes: kokoontumiselle should not be confused with kokoontuminen (the noun) or with other cases that indicate location rather than destination. It is a standard grammatical tool in Finnish for describing directed movement toward a group event.
