detektorille

Detektorille is the Finnish allative case form of the noun detektori, meaning detector. It expresses direction toward a destination or recipient, typically indicating where an action is directed, where something should be placed, or where a signal is sent. In technical writing, manuals, and lab notes, detektorille is used to specify the target of an action or the place where equipment should be positioned.

Etymology and grammar: detektori is a loanword from detector, adapted into Finnish as detektori. The allative suffix -lle attaches to the noun to indicate movement toward or placement at a destination. The singular form is detektorille and the plural form is detektoreille.

Usage examples: Aseta johto detektorille. (Place the cable at the detector / connect to the detector.) Lähetä signaali detektorille. (Send the signal to the detector.) Tutkimuksessa kohde on suunnattu detektorille. (In the study, the target is directed toward the detector.)

Related forms and distinctions: detektoriin denotes illative “into/onto the detector,” whereas detektorille denotes toward/for the detector as a destination or recipient. The genitive form is detektorin (detektorin elinkeinot or ownership), and the plural allative is detektoreille.
