ihmisilla

ihmisilla is a Finnish word that means “to people” or “in people.” It is formed from the plural noun ihmiset (people) in the dative case, which is used to indicate the indirect object of a verb. The form is common in expressions such as “äänestä ihmisille” (vote for people) and “tapahtuu ihmisille parhaalla mahdollisella tavalla” (happens in the best possible way for people).

In Finnish grammar, the dative case is used not only for indirect objects but also to indicate the target of action, the recipient or the group affected by an action. The suffix –lle signals this case and is added to the noun stem when the noun is plural; for example, energija to energile.

The word ihmisilla is sometimes seen in compound forms, such as “ihmisille-” in slogans or political discourse, emphasizing a message addressed directly to a public or demographic group. It can also appear in idiomatic phrases, for instance “ehkä ihmisille parempi ratkaisu” (perhaps a better solution for people).

Because finnish is a highly inflected language, people unfamiliar with the dialect may find the form confusing, especially when encountering it outside of textbook examples. However, it plays an important role in everyday communication, as it succinctly addresses actions directed toward a group.
