esimiehille

Esimiehille is a Finnish noun form meaning “to the supervisors” or “for the supervisors.” It is the allative plural form of the noun esimies and is used in workplace communication to indicate the recipients of information, instructions, or documents. The allative ending -ille designates direction toward a person or group.

In usage, esimiiehille appears in emails, memos, and forms addressed to management staff. Examples include: “Ohjeet toimitetaan esimiiehille.” and “Raportti on tarkoitettu esimiiehille.” The phrase signals that the material is intended for supervisors rather than for employees at other levels. It is a common feature of internal communications, training materials, and administrative notices.

Linguistically, the form is created from the base esimies with the allative plural suffix -ille, yielding esimiehille as the plural recipient form. This construction is typical in Finnish when directing information or actions toward a group.

In practice, esimiiehille is used to specify who should receive or review content, making it a standard element of formal documentation and distribution lists within organizations. It helps clarify the intended audience of directives, reports, and other official materials.
