hälylle

Hälylle is the allative case form of the Finnish noun häly, meaning alarm, signal, or alert. In Finnish grammar, the allative case is marked by the suffix -lle and denotes the recipient or destination of an action, or the entity for which something is intended. When häly is inflected as hälylle, it signals the alarm system or alert as the beneficiary or target of a directive, instruction, or description.

Usage and meaning: Hälylle typically appears in formal, technical, or historical texts about warning systems, safety procedures, or regulatory language. It reflects how Finnish treats devices or abstract entities as recipients of communication or regulation. For example, a sentence like ohjeet hälylle laadittiin can be translated as “instructions were prepared for the alarm system,” indicating that the directives are directed toward the alarm. The form may also occur in discussions of roles within an alert network or in official manuals.

Grammatical notes: The -lle suffix is one of the Finnish allative forms used to indicate direction toward or benefit for a target. It contrasts with other cases used for location or movement, and it is commonly found with nouns referring to systems, organizations, or devices in formal language. The use of hälylle tends to be limited to contexts where specific attention is given to the recipient of an action related to an alarm or alert.

Context: In everyday Finnish, the allative forms of concrete nouns such as häly are relatively uncommon, and hälylle is primarily seen in technical writing, manuals, and historical descriptions of warning and alerting practices.
