kontrollille

Kontrollille is the allative form of the Finnish noun kontrolli, meaning control, inspection, or oversight. The -lle suffix marks direction toward a place or recipient, so kontrollille denotes “to the control” or “for the control” in a directional or evaluative sense. In Finnish, this form is used with verbs of movement or in noun phrases that identify the target of an action or assignment.

Usage and meaning: In practical text, kontrollille refers to a control point, monitoring authority, or area associated with supervision. It can appear in contexts such as security checkpoints, quality-control stands, or administrative oversight, where something or someone is directed toward or assigned to the control entity. The sense is often best translated as “to the control” or “for control,” depending on the sentence structure.

Etymology and grammar: Kontrolli is a loanword, commonly traced to Swedish kontroll or English control. The allative form combining kontrolli with -lle is a standard Finnish way to express destination or purpose related to control activities.

Variants and related terms: The base forms include kontrolli (nominative), kontrollin (genitive), and kontrollia (partitive). Related concepts include tarkastus (inspection) and valvonta (supervision), which cover broader meanings of oversight and quality assurance.

Examples:

- Jatkamme matkaa kontrollille. (We continue toward the control point.)

- Dokumentit on toimitettu kontrollille. (The documents have been delivered to the control.)
