hyvyydelle

hyvyydelle is a Finnish noun form representing an abstract concept of benevolence or goodness, specifically the allative case form of hyvyys. As such, it is used to denote movement toward or direction to goodness, or to indicate the recipient of benevolent action in a phrase.

Etymology: derived from hyvyys (goodness) with the allative suffix -lle. The allative marks direction toward that noun, and hyvyydelle appears primarily in literary, religious, or ceremonial language.

Usage: In contemporary Finnish, hyvyydelle is infrequent outside poetry and liturgy. It may appear in translations of religious texts or in philosophical discussions about ethics, where speakers discuss actions done toward the goal of goodness. It is not a common everyday expression, and in ordinary prose speakers would typically use hyvyys or other nouns to express similar ideas.
