kaikille

Kaikille is a Finnish word functioning as the allative form of the pronoun kaikki, meaning “to everyone” or “for everyone.” In Finnish grammar, the suffix -lle marks the allative case, which is used to indicate direction toward something or a beneficiary. Therefore kaikille conveys that something is intended for or accessible to all people. It is frequently paired with phrases like kaikille avoin (open to all) and kaikille tarkoitettu (intended for everyone).

Morphology and usage notes: kaikille is formed from kaikki (all) plus the allative suffix -lle. The construction is used with nouns or noun phrases to express that a service, place, event, or statement is available to everyone. It appears in various contexts, such as public announcements, event signage, and policy language, to emphasize universal accessibility or benefit. The form does not vary for person or number beyond what the root Farbe inni dictates; it inherently carries a universal, inclusive sense.

Common contexts and examples:

- Tämä tapahtuma on kaikille avoin. (This event is open to everyone.)

- Kaikille työntekijöille tarjotaan koulutusta. (Training is offered to all employees.)

- Kaikille tarkoitettu opetusmateriaali on saatavilla verkossa. (Educational material intended for everyone is available online.)

- Kaikille ymmärrettäväksi tehty selitys helpottaa asioiden hallintaa. (An explanation made for everyone to understand helps with handling things.)

Etymology and related forms: kaikille derives from kaikki (all) plus the allative suffix -lle. Related forms include the genitive kaikien and other allative phrases like minulle (to me) or heille (to them). The term appears widely in Finnish discourse to signal inclusivity and broad access.
