Laitemallille

Laitemallille is the allative form of the Finnish compound lait emalli, which literally means device model. The base noun lait e malli combines laite (device) and malli (model). The suffix -lle marks direction toward or for, so lait emallille translates roughly as “to the device model” or “for the device model” in English. Laitemallille is a grammatical form rather than a separate concept; it is used in contexts where a statement, action, or designation is directed at or intended for a specific device model.

In practice, lait emallille appears in technical and product documentation to indicate applicability or target model. For example, a note might say that a software update is mukautettu lait emallille (adapted for the device model) or that a setting should be applied lait emallille (to the device model). This construction helps writers specify which hardware variant a directive or specification concerns.

Usage and nuances: the allative suffix -lle is common in Finnish for signaling direction, assignment, or recipient. When attached to a compound like lait emalli, it preserves the sense that the action or attribute is associated with a particular device model. It is most typical in formal or technical Finnish and may appear in manuals, release notes, and engineering specifications.
