havaintopisteelle

Havaintopisteelle is the allative form of the Finnish noun havaintopiste, meaning observation point. The form indicates movement toward or toward and to the observation point, and is commonly used in directions, instructions, or descriptions of field activities.

Havaintopiste is a compound of havainto (observation) and piste (point). The suffix -lle marks the allative case, which expresses destination or direction toward a place. Thus havaintopisteelle literally means “to the observation point.”

It can appear in field notes, expedition plans, weather or astronomical observations, and navigation or signage that directs people to a particular monitoring site.
