hinnoille

Hinnoille is a Finnish grammatical form that serves as the plural allative of the noun hinta, meaning price. It translates roughly as “to the prices” or “for the prices” and is used when prices are the target or reference of discussion, action, or change. The allative case in Finnish marks direction toward something, and in the plural the form hinnat becomes hinnoille.

Morphology and usage: The base word is hinta (price). Its plural nominative is hinnat, and the plural allative is hinnoille. Hinnoille is used with verbs and constructions that indicate a target, direction, or reference related to prices, such as pricing decisions, price levels, or price-based actions. It often appears in economic, marketing, and policy texts.

Common contexts: Hinnoille appears in discussions about price targets, price ranges, or changes intended for prices. It can be used to describe actions directed at prices, such as budgeting, campaigns, or regulatory measures that affect price levels. It is typically found in formal or semi-formal writing rather than everyday speech.

Examples: Hinnoille asetettiin uusi tavoite. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan hinnoille suunnattuja toimenpiteitä. After a price-driven change: Hinnoille suunnatun muutoksen jälkeen myynti kasvoi.
