Tärkkelykselle

Tärkkelykselle is a Finnish word that translates to "for starch" or "to starch". It is a grammatical case ending, specifically the allative case, indicating motion towards or purpose related to starch. In Finnish grammar, the allative case is typically formed by adding the suffix "-lle" to a noun. Therefore, "tärkkelykselle" signifies that something is directed towards, intended for, or associated with starch.

The word "tärkkelys" itself refers to starch, a complex carbohydrate found in plants and used as a food source and in industrial applications. The allative case ending "-lle" is common in Finnish and is used with various nouns to express this directional or purposive relationship. Understanding these case endings is crucial for comprehending Finnish sentence structure and meaning.
