Kulttuureille

Kulttuureille is the plural allative form of the Finnish noun kulttuuri, meaning culture. In Finnish grammar, the allative case marks direction toward something or the recipient of an action. Kulttuureille is used when the recipient or target is multiple cultures, as opposed to the singular form kulttuurille, which refers to one culture.

The form is common in contexts involving funding, support, or programming that is directed at cultures. It often appears in official or policy-oriented language, where actions are described as being aimed at or provided for cultures collectively rather than a single culture.

Examples of usage include: Rahoitus on tarkoitettu kulttuureille. (Funding is intended for cultures.) Kulttuureille suunnattu ohjelma tukee monikulttuurisuutta. (A program aimed at cultures supports multiculturalism.) Kulttuureille tarkoitettu tuki helpottaa kulttuurisen moninaisuuden säilyttämistä. (Support intended for cultures helps preserve cultural diversity.)

In practice, kulttuureille helps to specify the beneficiaries in a neutral, formal tone, often found in government documents, grant calls, and strategic plans related to arts, heritage, and social cohesion. It should be distinguished from kulttuurille (singular) and kulttuureille suunnatut ilmaukset, which refer to different syntactic constructions depending on number and agreement. Overall, kulttuureille functions as a standard grammatical tool for referring to multiple cultures as recipients or targets of an action.
