Vaikuttuneille

Vaikuttuneille is a Finnish linguistic form meaning “to those affected” or “for those affected.” It is the allative plural form of the participial adjective vaikuttunut (and of the underlying noun phrase referring to people who have been affected). In usage, vaikuttuneille marks the target group of an action, message, or provision, typically in formal or administrative contexts.

Grammatically, -lle denotes the allative case, indicating direction toward or for someone or something. In plural, -ille yields vaikuttuneille, referring to multiple people who have experienced an impact, event, or decision. The base stem vaikuttune- comes from the participle meaning “affected” or “influenced,” and the form is used when addressing or directing information and assistance to that group.

Usage and context:

- Common in public administration, legal texts, crisis communications, insurance or compensation notices, and other formal documentation.

- It designates the recipients of information, services, or measures, for example: “Ilmoitus on tarkoitettu vaikuttuneille.” (The notice is intended for those affected.)

- Other examples include “Lisätietoja vaikuttuneille on saatavilla” (More information for those affected is available).

Nuance:

- Vaikuttuneille is formal and specific in tone; in everyday language, speakers might refer to the affected people more simply with phrases like “vaikuttuneet” (the affected) or “niille, joita asia koskee” (to those whom the matter concerns).
