analyysille

Analyysille is the allative form of the Finnish noun analyysi, meaning analysis. In Finnish, the allative case marks direction toward something or a purpose, so analyysille translates roughly to “to the analysis” or “for analysis.” The form is used in academic, scientific, and technical writing to indicate the destination of an action or the intended use of something.

Grammatical and usage notes: Analyysille is one of several case forms derived from analyysi. Its function is to specify that the action or item relates to the analysis as a target or purpose. Other common cases of analyysi include analyysin (genitive), analyysissa (inessive), and analyysiin (illative). In practice, analyysille appears in phrases such as “analyysille asetetut vaatimukset” (the requirements placed on the analysis) or “analyysille varattu aika” (time allocated for analysis). The form is primarily found in formal writing and technical discourse.

Etymology: Analyysi is a Finnish noun meaning analysis, borrowed into Finnish from European languages with roots in the Greek word for loosening or untying (analusis/analysis). The allative suffix -lle is a standard Finnish ending used to mark direction or purpose, yielding analyysille.
