Päivittäisille

Päivittäisille is a Finnish grammatical form rather than a standalone concept. It is the allative plural form of the adjective päivittäinen, which means “daily” or “everyday.” When the adjective is used as a substantive to refer to a group, it can take the allative plural ending to indicate the recipients or beneficiaries of an action, yielding päivittäisille, meaning “to the daily ones” or “for the daily ones.”

Usage of päivittäisille occurs in formal or bureaucratic language, where a group described as daily or routine is explicitly the recipient of something. It is common in written Finnish to designate who is meant to receive information, materials, or instructions. For example: Päivittäisille on toimitettu uudet ohjeet (New instructions have been delivered to the daily ones). Päivittäisille on varattu tilaisuus osallistua (The daily ones have been given the opportunity to participate). In contexts like distribution of materials at the end of a training day, phrases such as Päivittäisille jaettiin materiaaleja are used.

Other forms include päivittäiset (nominative plural, “the daily ones”), päivittäisiä (partitive, “daily ones”), and päivittäiselle (allative singular, “to the daily one”). The base form päivittäinen derives from päivittäinen meaning daily, with the suffix -inen forming adjectives and -lle indicating the allative case.
