Sisältäville

Sisältäville is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the adjective sisältävä, meaning containing. It is the allative plural form of this adjective when it is used as a noun or a noun-like descriptor to refer to a group of people or entities that have the property of containing something. In essence, kyseessä is a form that can be translated roughly as “to those who contain” or “for those who contain,” depending on the surrounding context and the sentence structure.

In terms of morphology, sisältäville is formed by taking the root adjective and applying the allative suffix -lle to indicate direction or recipient, here in their plural sense. This makes sisältäville a specialized form that attaches to a head noun phrase to designate a particular group in a sentence. The form is not common in everyday Finnish and is most often encountered in linguistic discussions, grammar descriptions, or highly formal or technical texts.

Usage of sisältäville is limited. It is primarily used in analytic or descriptive contexts when the author wishes to refer to a group characterized by the property of containing. In ordinary prose, speakers and writers tend to rephrase with a clause such as niille, jotka sisältävät … or for those who contain … to avoid using this inflected adjective-noun form. The form illustrates Finnish’s rich system of case endings and the flexibility of adjectives when treated as nominalized references.
