Metallilaitteille

Metallilaitteille is a Finnish allative plural form of metallilaite, meaning a metal device or metal equipment. The allative case expresses direction, destination, or applicability, so metallilaitteille is used to indicate “to the metal devices” or “for the metal devices” in technical and industrial texts. It is commonly found in product descriptions, manuals, and procurement lists to specify the target equipment for a component, instruction, or service.

Form and usage notes: the base noun metallilaite has the plural nominative metallilaitteet. The allative plural ending -ille is added to this form, yielding metallilaitteille. This construction signals that the stated item or instruction is intended for, or applicable to, multiple metal devices. In practice, metallilaitteille often appears with verbs or nouns that convey placement, suitability, or usage, such as soveltua (to be suitable for), suunniteltu (designed for), keep: or tarjonta (offerings for). Examples include Ohjeet metallilaitteille (instructions for metal devices), Tarvikkeet metallilaitteille (supplies for metal devices), and Turvallisuusohjeet metallilaitteille (safety guidelines for metal devices).

Context and nuance: metallilaitteille is primarily a technical term used in Finnish to clarify applicability across a range of devices made of metal, rather than to refer to a single device. It can be paired with various modifiers to tailor descriptions to specific sectors, such as teollisuusmetallituotteet (industrial metal devices) or laboratorio- ja tutkimuskäyttö metallilaitteille (laboratory and research use for metal devices).
