hakijoille

Hakijoille is the allative plural form of the Finnish noun hakija, meaning “to the applicants” or “for the applicants.” It marks the recipient or beneficiary of an action and is used with verbs and constructions that indicate giving, directing, or offering something to a group of applicants.

In use, hakijoille appears in sentences such as: Annan hakijoille lisätietoja. (I will give the applicants additional information.) Hakijoille on varattu tilat. (Facilities have been reserved for the applicants.) Hakijoille suunnattu ohjeistus auttaa prosessissa. (Instructions directed at applicants help in the process.) The form is commonly found in formal or administrative Finnish, including procedures, announcements, and guidelines that address a group of applicants.

Etymologically, hakijoille combines the stem hakija (applicant) with the allative ending -lle, which signals “to/for” a destination or beneficiary in Finnish. The singular form hakijalle means “to the applicant” or “for the applicant,” while hakijoille targets multiple recipients.

Notes on usage: The allative case, as in hakijoille, is used with verbs that express transfer, guidance, or designation toward the addressed group. It is distinct from cases that mark the subject or direct object, and it may appear with postpositions or verbs of offering, distributing, or directing content to the group of applicants. Context often clarifies whether the sense is “to” or “for.”
