allatiivsingulari

Allatiivsingulari refers to a specific grammatical case in Finnish, the allative, when it is used with a singular noun. The allative case typically indicates motion towards or onto a place or surface. In Finnish, this case is formed by adding the suffix "-lle" to the noun stem. For example, "talo" (house) in the allative singular becomes "talolle" (to the house, onto the house).

The allative singular is a fundamental part of Finnish grammar, used in a wide variety of contexts. It can express direction, as in "Menen kauppaan" (I am going to the shop), or indicate the recipient of something, like "Annoin kirjan hänelle" (I gave the book to him/her). It can also denote a destination or purpose, such as "Opiskelen yliopistolle" (I am studying for university).

While the allative singular is the most common form, Finnish also has an allative plural, formed by adding "-ille" to the noun stem, for example, "taloi*lle*" (to the houses, onto the houses). The distinction between singular and plural allative is crucial for conveying precise meaning in Finnish sentences. Understanding the allative singular is essential for both understanding and producing correct Finnish.
