Taulukoille

Taulukoille is the allative plural form of the Finnish noun taulukko, meaning tables or spreadsheets. It functions to indicate direction toward or the recipient of an action, such as “to the tables” or “for the tables,” and is used when referring to more than one table.

Morphology and formation: The allative case in Finnish uses the suffix -lle. For the plural, this suffix attaches to the plural stem taulukot, producing taulukoille. This form appears in contexts where multiple tables are the target of an action or description, such as edits, assignments, or inquiries involving several tables.

Usage examples:

- Taulukoille lisättiin uusi sarake. — A new column was added to the tables.

- Taulukoille suunnatut ohjeet löytyvät oppaasta. — The instructions for the tables can be found in the manual.

Context and notes: Taulukoille is common in technical, data-management, and software documentation where multiple tables are referenced. It is distinct from taulukkoon (illative singular) or taulukossa (inessive), which refer to a single table in different spatial or directional senses. The allative plural form helps specify that an action or consideration applies to several tables rather than to a single one.
