kroonisille

Kroonisille is an allative plural form of the Finnish adjective krooninen, meaning chronic. It is used when describing plural nouns in the allative case, typically translated into English as “to/for chronic ….” The form is not a standalone noun; it is an inflected adjective that accompanies a plural noun in contexts where the action or relation is directed toward or intended for the described items.

In practice, kroonisille appears in medical, research, and policy language. It is used to indicate targeted focuses or recipients related to chronic conditions. For example, phrases such as kroonisille sairauksille and kroonisille potilaille mean “for chronic diseases” and “for chronic patients,” respectively. These constructions appear in grant calls, treatment guidelines, and health-system planning where the objec­t of consideration is chronic health issues.

Grammatical notes: krooninen inflects to agree with the noun it modifies, and when the noun group is plural and in the allative case, the adjective takes the corresponding allative plural ending, resulting in kroonisille. The corresponding singular forms include krooniselle (to/for the chronic one) and krooniset (the chronic ones) in the nominative plural, with analogous allative forms in other contexts.
