jaksollisille

Jaksollisille is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the allative plural form of the adjective jaksollinen, meaning periodic. As Finnish adjectives decline like nouns, jaksollinen has corresponding inflected forms that agree with the noun it modifies in case and number. Jaksollisille appears when the modified noun is plural and in the allative case, and it translates roughly as “to periodic …” or “for periodic …” in English.
