Talousarviolle

Talousarviolle is the allative form of talousarvio, the Finnish word for budget. In Finnish grammar, the suffix -lle marks the allative case, which is used to indicate direction toward or for something. Thus talousarviolle means “to the budget” or “for the budget” and appears mainly in formal or institutional texts.

The term is most commonly used in public administration and finance, where discussions concern resources, planning, and obligations tied to a budget. It appears in phrases such as talousarviolle asetetut tavoitteet (the goals set for the budget), talousarviolle osoitetut määrärahat (the appropriations allocated for the budget), and talousarviolle varatut menot (the expenditures allocated to the budget). These expressions describe what is planned, funded, or constrained within a given budget period.

Talousarviolle is widely used in the context of both state and municipal budgeting in Finland. It is applicable to any formal budget document, including the valtion talousarvio (state budget) and kunnan talousarvio (municipal budget), as well as organizational or corporate budgets. The form emphasizes the budget as the unit receiving or governing resources, rather than the activity itself.

Notes on usage: talousarviolle is chiefly a grammatical tool in official discourse. It does not denote a separate policy concept, but rather a way to refer to items, goals, or actions that pertain to or are allocated within the budget.
