Onnistumiselle

Onnistumiselle is the allative form of the Finnish noun onnnistuminen, meaning success or accomplishment. In Finnish grammar, the allative suffix -lle indicates direction toward, destination, or purpose. Therefore onnistumiselle expresses “toward success” or “for success” and is used to mark the target or aim of actions, plans, or resources.

In practice, onnistumiselle often appears in contexts where something is directed at achieving success or is intended to support success. It can modify nouns describing resources, measures, or objectives, for example: onnistumiselle suunnattuja resursseja (resources directed toward success), or Hankkeelle onnitumiselle suunnattuja toimenpiteitä (measures aimed at achieving success). It can also occur with phrases like onnistumiselle asetetut tavoitteet (the goals set for success), which frames the objective as the intended outcome.

Usage considerations include that the allative form focuses on the end goal rather than the process itself, and it is common in formal, policy, or planning language where outcomes are specified. It is one of several Finnish case forms that convey purpose, direction, or recipient, and its meaning can be clarified by context and accompanying modifiers.
