Tasapuoliselle

Tasapuoliselle is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the adjective tasapuolinen, meaning fair or even-handed. The word itself is not a standalone lemma but an inflected form (the allative case ending -lle) used in phrases that indicate the target or aim of fairness. In practice, tasapuoliselle appears in constructions such as tasapuoliselle kilpailulle or tasapuoliselle kohtelulle, which translate roughly to “for a level playing field” or “toward fair treatment.”

Meaning and usage

Tasapuolinen refers to impartiality, equal opportunity, and balanced treatment. When combined with the allative suffix -lle, tasapuoliselle signals that a policy, rule, or action is intended to promote fairness or equal conditions for participants. The term is common in political, administrative, and social discourse, particularly in discussions about competition, access to services, or allocation of resources.
