merinisäkkäille

Merinisäkkäille is a Finnish term that translates to "for marine mammals" or "to marine mammals." It is a grammatical case ending used in the Finnish language to indicate the indirect object or the recipient of an action, specifically when that action is directed towards marine mammals. Finnish is an agglutinative language, meaning that grammatical functions are expressed by adding suffixes to word stems. The "lle" ending signifies the allative case, which in this context denotes movement towards or to something, or the recipient of an action. Therefore, when referring to an action performed for or directed at marine mammals in Finnish, the noun or pronoun representing those animals would be inflected with the "lle" ending, resulting in "merinisäkkäille." This grammatical construction is essential for conveying precise meaning in Finnish when discussing interactions with or provisions for sea-dwelling mammals such as whales, dolphins, or seals. The term itself is a compound word, with "meri" meaning sea and "nisäkkäille" being the allative form of "nisäkkäät," which means mammals.
