Tarkoitetulle

Tarkoitetulle is a Finnish word that translates to "intended for" or "meant for" in English. It is the allative plural case of the word "tarkoitus," which means "purpose" or "intention." The allative case in Finnish indicates direction or destination, and when combined with "tarkoitus," it signifies that something is designated or allocated for a specific purpose or group of people.

For example, one might say "tämä on tarkoitettulle lapsille" which means "this is intended for children." The word implies a deliberate act of designation or planning. It suggests that an object, service, or action has a specific recipient or use in mind. The concept of "tarkoitetulle" is important in understanding the functional and directed nature of things within the Finnish language. It can be used in a wide range of contexts, from describing the intended audience of a book to the purpose of a specific tool. The nuance lies in its directness of purpose and designated recipient.
