Käymiselle

Käymiselle is a grammatical form used in Finnish to denote movement toward or purpose related to fermentation. It is the allative form of the noun käyminen, which means fermentation. In translation, käymiselle can be rendered as “to fermentation” or “for fermentation” depending on the sentence.

In practical use, käymiselle appears where the target or suitability of fermentation is being described. It is common in technical, culinary, and industrial contexts, for example when referring to equipment or conditions designed for fermentation: käymiselle tarkoitetut astiat (containers intended for fermentation) or käymiselle sopiva lämpötila (temperature suitable for fermentation).

Grammar note: Käymiselle is not a stand-alone lexical item but a case form derived from käyminen. Finnish uses the -lle allative suffix to indicate direction toward or purpose related to the noun, similar to other allative forms such as pöydälle (onto the table).
