Kumppanuuksille

Kumppanuus is Finnish for partnership or collaboration between organizations or individuals, often to achieve common goals. Kumppanuuksille is the allative plural form of kumppanuus, meaning “for partnerships” or “to partnerships.” In Finnish, this case form is used to indicate direction toward or purpose for partnerships, typically in policy, funding, or program administration.

Etymology and grammar: The word is formed from kumppanuus (partner, collaboration) with the plural suffix and the allative case ending -lle. Kumppanuuksille signals that something is intended for or directed toward partnerships. Examples include: “Ohjelma tarjoaa rahoitusta kumppanuuksille” (The program provides funding for partnerships) and “Kumppanuuksille suunnattu tuki on lisätty budjettiin” (Support aimed at partnerships has been added to the budget).

Usage and context: Kumppanuuksille is commonly seen in public administration, non-profit work, and business contexts where resources, policies, or initiatives are directed at forming, sustaining, or expanding partnerships. It is distinct from kumppaneille (to the partners) and kumppanuudet (partnerships as a concept). For instance, a government or foundation might announce funding programs specifically for partnerships between organizations, research consortia, or public-private collaborations.

Notes: Kumppanuuksille is a grammatical form used within sentences to express purpose or direction toward partnerships. Its precise meaning depends on the surrounding verb or preposition, and it is most often encountered in official documents, grant calls, and strategic plans.
