Laajuudelle

Laajuudelle is the allative form of the Finnish noun laajuus, meaning extent, scope, or magnitude. In Finnish grammar, the allative case marks direction toward a target or object of action. When used with laajuus, laajuudelle signals the extent to which something applies, is allocated, or is considered. The form is most common in formal or technical writing and is less frequent in casual speech.

Usage and meaning: Laajuudelle often appears in contexts where a boundary, limit, or allocation is described as being directed toward a particular scope. It functions as a grammatical tool to express “to the extent” or “for the scope” in relation to actions such as planning, evaluation, or resource distribution.

Examples: Laajuudelle asetetut rajat määrittävät hankkeen sisällön. (The limits set for the scope determine the content of the project.) Resursseja on suunnattu laajuudelle. (Resources have been allocated to the scope.) Laajuudelle määritetyt tavoitteet ohjaavat suunnittelua. (The objectives defined for the scope guide the planning.)

Notes: Laajuudelle is not a standalone concept but a specific inflected form used to discuss scope or extent within sentences. It is one among several Finnish case forms used to articulate relationships between actions and their targets.
