Supistuksille

Supistuksille is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the allative plural of the noun supistus. The base word supistus means contraction or squeezing and can refer to a physical tightening, muscle contraction, or, in medical contexts, uterine contractions during childbirth. As a plural allative, supistuksille expresses a sense of direction toward or for the contractions, i.e., something is intended for or directed at contractions.

In Finnish, the noun supistus has several related senses: a general act of contracting or squeezing, a physiological muscle contraction, and, in obstetrics, labor contractions. The form supistuksille is used when the speaker wants to indicate that actions, effects, or recipients are oriented toward contractions in a plural, allative sense. This usage appears primarily in formal or technical language, such as medical, anatomical, or physiological descriptions, rather than in everyday speech.

Grammatically, supistuksille demonstrates how Finnish encodes recipient or target information with the allative case (-lle) in its plural form. It is distinct from other case forms like supistuksilleen (singular) or supistuksista (from contractions). Correct use depends on number and case requirements of the surrounding verb or noun phrase.

Overall, supistuksille functions as a specialized grammatical form that marks direction toward contractions in plural contexts, most commonly encountered in technical or medical Finnish rather than colloquial language.
