Päivämäärille

Päivämäärille is the allative plural form of the Finnish noun päivämäärä, meaning calendar date or deadline. In Finnish grammar, the allative case marks a destination or target of an action, and when used with dates it often indicates that something applies to, is assigned to, or is planned for specific dates. The phrase is commonly encountered in scheduling, planning, and administrative contexts, where actions are linked to particular dates.

Grammatically, päivämäärä forms the plural nominative as päivämäärät, and the corresponding allative plural is päivämäärille. The allative suffix -lle signals direction toward the dates or a purpose connected to those dates. In practice, päivämäärille appears in sentences describing where or for whom something is intended, or which dates are involved in a process.

Common contexts include scheduling tasks, distributing information, or organizing activities by date. For example, phrases such as seuraaville päivämäärille (for the following dates) or useille päivämäärille (to several dates) are typical. The construction often cooccurs with verbs like jakaa (to distribute), täyttää (to fill out), or vahvistaa (to confirm) to specify the timing or target of the action.

Examples:

- Täytä lomake seuraaville päivämäärille. (Fill out the form for the following dates.)

- Aikataulu jaetaan useille päivämäärille. (The schedule is distributed to several dates.)

- Vahvista varauksesi seuraaville päivämäärille. (Confirm your reservation for the following dates.)
