Signaalille

Signaalille is the Finnish allative form of the noun signaali, meaning "signal." It is used to express motion toward a signal or directing attention toward a signal. In Finnish, the allative suffix -lle marks destination or direction toward a place, surface, or object, making signaalille a common way to say “to the signal” in contexts such as navigation, traffic instructions, or railway signaling.

Etymology and forms: The base word signaali comes from a loanword meaning signal. Other related forms include signaali (the singular nominative), signaalin (genitive), and signaaleja (partitive plural). The allative form signaalille is one of several locative cases in Finnish used to express spatial relations or movement toward something.

Usage: Signaalille occurs in sentences describing approaching or directing toward a signal. Examples include: Aja signaalille ja pysähdy. (Drive toward the signal and stop.) Käänny signaalille, kun näet sen. (Turn toward the signal when you see it.) The term is more common in practical instructions or descriptive passages about signaling systems, rather than everyday conversation.
