mittaukselle

Mittaukselle is the allative form of the Finnish noun mittaus, which means measurement or surveying. In Finnish grammar, mittaukselle marks direction toward the measurement or the purpose for which a measurement is conducted. It is a case form used in formal, technical, or procedural contexts to indicate what is being aimed at or what the action is for.

Grammar and usage are the main focus of mittaukselle. It pairs with verbs and noun phrases that require the allative, signaling concepts such as “for the measurement,” “to the measurement,” or “intended for measurement.” It is distinct from other cases of mittaus, such as mittauksen (genitive) or mittauksessa (inessive), which convey different relationships.

Common uses include indicating purpose or allocation related to measurement, for example in administrative or laboratory contexts. Example sentences in Finnish include: “Mittaukselle on varattu tilaa laboratoriossa” (A space has been reserved for the measurement in the laboratory), “Mittaukselle asetettavat standardit on määritelty” (The standards set for the measurement have been defined), and “Mittaukselle tarkoitetut välineet löytyvät varastosta” (The instruments intended for the measurement are in the storage).

In summary, mittaukselle is a grammatical form rather than a standalone technical concept. It serves to specify that something relates to a measurement—either as a target, purpose, or recipient—in Finnish, particularly in technical, scientific, or administrative language.
