Suoloille

Suoloille is the plural allative form of the Finnish noun suola, meaning salt. In Finnish, the allative case marks a direction toward or a beneficiary or target of an action. The plural form suoloille therefore conveys “to salts” or “for salts” when referring to more than one salt type or batch. The form is primarily found in written texts, such as recipes, labels, or technical descriptions, and is less common in everyday speech.

Formation and usage. The allative plural is created by adding the suffix -ille to the stem of the noun. For suola, this yields suoloille. The ending indicates destination, toward which something is moved, or the allocation or application of something to multiple items in the category of salts. In context, suoloille can be used when distinguishing different salt sources, varieties, or batches in lists, instructions, or classifications. It contrasts with the singular suolalle, which would refer to a single salt.

Context and meaning. Suoloille may appear in culinary, chemical, or food-science texts where multiple salts are discussed or compared, such as labeling, storage guidelines, or protocol descriptions that address several salt types. Because Finnish uses inflection to convey grammatical relationships, suoloille communicates a specific spatial or functional relation to salts as a group rather than to a single salt.
