alueellisille

alueellisille is a Finnish grammatical form rather than a standalone concept. It is the plural allative form of the adjective alueellinen, meaning regional. In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify, and when the noun is plural and in the allative case, the adjective takes the corresponding allative plural ending. This results in forms such as alueellisille, which commonly appear in phrases where both the noun and the descriptor are in the allative plural.

The typical use of alueellisille is in noun phrases that indicate recipients, beneficiaries, or targets within a regional context. In policy, administration, and funding texts, it often appears alongside a plural noun in the allative, for example alueellisille toimijoille (to regional actors) or alueellisille hankkeille (for regional projects). In these instances, alueellisille helps specify that the action or resource is directed toward regional subjects rather than national or local levels alone.

Because alueellisille is a form rather than an independent word, its meaning relies on the accompanying noun phrase. Without an explicit noun, the form can be incomplete or ambiguous. Its appearance signals a regional scope or focus and is common in governmental, organizational, and programmatic language that distinguishes regional targets from other levels.
