Yksikölle

Yksikölle is the allative case form of the Finnish noun yksikkö, meaning unit, department, or organizational unit. In Finnish grammar, the allative case indicates direction toward or the recipient of an action, and it is formed with the suffix -lle. Therefore, yksikölle literally means “to the unit” or “for the unit.”

In use, yksikölle appears when referring to something being directed to or intended for a specific unit. It is common in administrative or formal contexts, such as organizational communications, reports, or records that are addressed to a particular unit within a company, institution, or military formation. The form is non-lexical in itself beyond its grammatical function; it is not a separate word with its own meaning, but a case-inflected form of yksikkö.

Examples include: “Lähetin tiedot yksikölle.” (I sent the information to the unit.) “Raportti on tarkoitettu yksikölle.” (The report is intended for the unit.) By contrast, the illative form yksikköön would mean “into the unit,” while the adessive yksiköllä means “at the unit,” illustrating how case endings shift meaning.

Notes: The term yksikölle does not denote a distinct concept or entity outside Finnish morphology. It primarily serves as an example of how the Finnish allative case marks destination or beneficiary in relation to the noun yksikkö.
