Tyylille

Tyylille is the allative singular form of the Finnish noun tyyli, meaning style. In Finnish grammar, tyylille marks direction toward the style or for the style, and it is formed by adding the allative suffix -lle to the stem tyyli.

Usage of tyylille is most common in more formal or analytical language, especially when discussing design, art, rhetoric, or fashion. With abstract nouns like tyyli, the allative often appears in constructions that attribute qualities to a particular style or indicate goals or actions directed at the style. For example, tyylille ominaista means “characteristic of the style” as in Tyylille ominaista on minimalistinen muotoilu (Minimalism is characteristic of the style). Another frequent construction is tyylille asetetut tavoitteet, meaning “the goals set for the style,” which can guide design decisions or critical analysis.

Notes on nuance and frequency: The allative form tyylille is a specialized tool in Finnish and is more common in written and scholarly contexts than in casual speech. It serves to foreground which style is being discussed or targeted and to frame evaluative statements about aesthetics or methods.
