kuluttajalle

Kuluttajalle is the allative form of kuluttaja in Finnish, used to indicate the recipient of an action, information, or obligation. It translates roughly as “to the consumer” or “for the consumer.” It is used when referring to a single consumer or to the consumer as a general recipient, whereas kuluttajat denotes multiple consumers, and kuluttajille means to the consumers.

In ordinary and legal language, kuluttajalle appears in phrases that describe obligations or rights directed at the consumer, for example: kuluttajalle annettavat tiedot (information to be provided to the consumer) and kuluttajalle suunnattu markkinointi (marketing aimed at the consumer). In Finnish consumer protection law, the consumer view is often expressed by using kuluttajalle to identify the intended recipient of a product, service, or notice.

In practice, kuluttajalle is a linguistic tool that helps specify who is the beneficiary or addressee in transactions, communications, and regulatory texts. It underscores the perspective of the individual consumer, even when the underlying concept can refer to consumers in general.

For reference, related terms include kuluttaja (the consumer), kuluttajille (to the consumers), and kuluttajansuojalaki (the Consumer Protection Act). The form is commonly found in labeling, instructions, advertisements, and legal provisions that address consumer rights and information obligations.
