hälytykselle

hälytykselle is a Finnish word that appears in the dative case form of the noun hälytys, meaning “alert,” “alarm,” or “warning.” The ending –lle indicates that the noun is being used as the object or recipient of an action or as the goal of a purpose. Thus hälytykselle can be translated as “to the alert,” “for the alert,” or “against the alert” depending on context.

The base noun hälytys is derived from the verb hälyttää, which means “to alert” or “to warn.” Hälytys is used in a variety of contexts: public safety announcements, security systems, emergency protocols, and media reporting. When the noun is put into the dative case, it often accompanies verbs that express giving, issuing, or preparing something for the alert. For example, a police dispatcher might say, “Otamme yhteyttä hälytykselle” (We are contacting the alert) to indicate that a particular alarm system is being engaged.

In technical and legal Finnish, hälytykselle is common in documents that describe procedures for alarm listening, monitoring, or controlling. The word can also appear in the organizational names of government agencies that manage alert systems, such as Hälytys- ja turvallisuusosasto (Alert and Security Department). In everyday speech, the dative form is less frequent; speakers usually discuss the alert in its nominative form and use verbs that imply purpose directly.

The word’s morphological structure is simple: hälytys (nominative) + –lle (dative). It behaves like most Finnish nouns in the use of case endings, maintaining the same root and only changing the suffix. As a result, hälytykselle is grammatically consistent across Finnish dialects and is understood by native speakers in both formal and informal contexts.
