Koristeellisille

Koristeellisille is the allative plural form of the Finnish adjective koristeellinen, meaning decorative or ornamental. It is used when the noun it modifies is plural and in the allative case, roughly translating to "for/to decorative items."

In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. With a plural noun in the allative case, the adjective takes the allative plural ending, producing forms such as koristeellisille. This enables the construction of phrases like koristeellisille esineille, meaning "for decorative items" or "to decorative items."

Use of koristeellisille tends to appear in contexts involving design, product descriptions, interior decoration, art, and exhibition labeling. It is most common in written or formal Finnish; in everyday speech, speakers may simplify the phrase by omitting the allative inflection or by using a simpler noun phrase.

Esimerkkejä: koristeellisille esineille suunniteltu valaistus (lighting designed for decorative items); koristeellisille esineille tarkoitetut vitriinit (display cases intended for ornamental objects). These examples illustrate how the form attaches to a plural noun in the allative to express purpose or direction toward decorative items.
