Satelliiteille

Satelliiteille is the plural allative form of the Finnish noun satelliitti (satellite). In Finnish, the allative case marks direction toward or destination of an action, and when the destination is plural, the form is used to indicate “to the satellites.” It is commonly encountered in technical or communicative contexts involving multiple satellites.

Form and usage notes: The plural allative is formed to denote the destination of an action directed at more than one satellite. For example, Lähetin tiedot satelliiteille means “I sent the data to the satellites.” The allative can express both receiving and targeting roles, depending on the verb and context. In contrast, other cases express different relationships to satellites, such as illative for movement into satellites (satelliitteihin) or singular allative forms (satelliittille) for one satellite.

Examples and context: In space communications and satellite operations, satelliiteille appears when referring to actions that involve multiple satellites as recipients or targets of service, data transfer, or control commands. It is less common in everyday language and predominantly found in technical writing, manuals, and reports related to orbital networks or satellite constellations.

Related forms: The Finnish language distinguishes several cases for the noun satelliitti, including singular and plural forms and other case endings such as illative (into) and allative with singular or plural distinctions. Understanding the allative helps clarify who or what is intended as the destination or recipient in a sentence.
