artikkelille

Artikkelille is the allative form of the Finnish noun artikkeli (article). It represents the allative case, a grammatical category used to indicate direction toward a place or recipient of an action. In Finnish, the allative is formed by adding the suffix -lle to the noun, here yielding artikkelille for singular artikkeli.

In usage, artikkelille denotes a destination or recipient in a variety of contexts, especially with verbs that describe giving, sending, pointing toward, or addressing. It is commonly found in professional or editorial language, where actions are directed at a publication or its components. While it can translate roughly as “to the article” or “for the article” in English, its exact meaning depends on the verb and context. It is less frequent in casual speech, where the noun form alone and other cases are more typical.

Examples of use include phrases in editorial workflows or documentation where attention is directed to a specific article. For instance, Lähetän korjaukset artikkelille means “I am sending the corrections to the article.” Another example could be Toimitus antoi ohjeet artikkelille, meaning “The editor issued instructions for the article.” These constructions illustrate how the allative marks the article as the target of an action rather than as the subject.
