asumiselle

Asumiselle is the allative case form of the Finnish noun asuminen, meaning living, living conditions, or residence. The allative suffix -lle marks direction toward something or indicates the target or purpose of an action. In practice, asumiselle is used to specify that something is intended for housing or living arrangements, particularly in formal, administrative, or policy language.

Usage and meaning: Asumiselle commonly appears in contexts such as budgets, plans, and programmes where resources or measures are allocated for housing. It answers questions about who or what is the recipient or purpose of the allocation. For example: "Valtion budjetista on varattu rahaa asumiselle" (Funds have been earmarked for housing). "Rahoitus on suunnattu asumiselle tarkoitetuille hankkeille" (Funding is directed to housing-related projects). "Asumiselle varatut resurssit on jaettava tasapuolisesti" (Resources allocated for housing should be distributed fairly).

Grammatical notes: Asumiselle is formed from asuminen by adding the allative ending -lle. Its usage is more common in written or institutional Finnish than in everyday speech, where other constructions, such as "asuminen liittyvät" or phrases focusing on housing directly, may be preferred.

Context and related terms: The form reflects Finnish case grammar and is typical in policy, budgeting, and planning texts. Related concepts include asumistuki (housing allowance), asuinolosuhteet (living conditions), and the general term asuminen (the process or state of living).
