Korjaamolle

Korjaamolle is the allative case form of the Finnish noun korjaamo, meaning a repair shop. It expresses direction or destination, roughly translating to “to the repair shop” in English. The form is used when something is moving toward a repair shop rather than being located there or coming from it.

Gramatically, korjaamolle is created by taking the base korjaamo and adding the allative suffix -lle. This suffix marks destination or toward-something, contrasting with other case forms such as korjaamossa (in the repair shop) or korjaamolta (from the repair shop). The word is commonly used in everyday speech and in written Finnish to indicate where someone is going.

Usage examples:

- Mene korjaamolle hakemaan varaosaa. (Go to the repair shop to pick up a spare part.)

- Ajan auton korjaamolle huollon vuoksi. (I am driving the car to the repair shop for service.)

- Mies lähti korjaamolle, ja palasi muutaman tunnin kuluttua. (He went to the repair shop and returned a few hours later.)

Notes:

- Korjaamolle contrasts with korjaamoon (illative form for entering a place) and korjaamolta (from the repair shop), reflecting Finnish case distinctions for destination, location, and origin.

- The term is primarily used in contexts involving vehicles, machinery, or other equipment requiring repair services, but can be extended to any repair shop in general.
