Tapetoinnille

Tapetoinnille is the allative form of the Finnish noun tapetointi, meaning wallpapering. It denotes the target or purpose of an action and is used to express “for wallpapering” or “to wallpapering” in Finnish, especially in technical or formal language.

In practice, tapetoinnille appears on product labels, manuals and construction descriptions to indicate suitability or intended use. For example, phrases such as “Soveltuu tapetoinnille” (suitable for wallpapering) or “Tämä liima on tarkoitettu tapetointiin” (this adhesive is intended for wallpapering) show its use in describing appropriate applications.

Grammatically, tapetoinnille is formed by attaching the allative suffix -lle to the noun tapetointi (wallpapering). It is most common in contexts where the goal or recipient of an action is specified, often in product specifications or installation guides. In everyday speech, the illative form tapetointiin is more typical when indicating purpose, but tapetoinnille remains common in labels and technical writing.
