Pituuksille

Pituuksille is the plural allative form of the Finnish noun pituus, meaning length or dimension. In Finnish grammar, the allative case marks direction toward a target or recipient, and in the plural it is formed by adding -ille to the plural nominative stem, yielding pituuksille. The form is used when referring to multiple lengths or dimensions that are the object of an action or the focus of a measurement.

The term is most common in technical, architectural, and scientific texts, where measurements and tolerances are discussed. For example: “Kappaleiden pituuksille asetettiin tiukemmat toleranssit” (stricter tolerances were set for the lengths of the parts) and “Pituuksille määriteltiin samat vaatimukset” (the same requirements were defined for the lengths). In everyday Finnish, usages of pituuksille are relatively rare outside contexts involving measurements or specifications.

As a grammatical form, pituuksille does not denote a separate concept beyond what pituus refers to; its meaning comes from context, indicating the lengths or dimensions that are being referred to or acted upon. The word follows standard Finnish inflection and is not capitalized unless it starts a sentence.
