Perustajille

Perustajille is the allative plural form of the Finnish noun perustaja, meaning founder. In Finnish, the allative case marks direction toward or for a recipient of an action. Therefore, perustajille translates as to the founders or for the founders, depending on the verb and context.

Common usage occurs with verbs that express giving, addressing, or targeting actions toward founders. Examples include: Tiedot on toimitettava perustajille (The information must be delivered to the founders). Perustajille annettiin oikeus osallistua päätöksiin (The founders were granted the right to participate in the decisions). Perustajille tarkoitettu opas selittää projektin tavoitteet (An instruction manual intended for the founders explains the project goals).

Etymology and formation: perustajille is formed from the plural nominative perustajat (founders) plus the allative suffix -ille. It is used to indicate recipients or beneficiaries in plural form, and can also appear in attributive phrases meaning “intended for the founders,” as in perustajille tarkoitettu opas.

In summary, perustajille is a grammatical tool in Finnish to express “to the founders” or “for the founders” in various contexts, from direct recipients to target audiences of documents or communications. Related terms include perustaja (founder) and the broader concepts of the allative and other cases in Finnish grammar.
