mukautetulle

Mukautetulle is a Finnish word-form meaning “for the adapted” or “for the customized,” derived from the participle mukautettu, meaning adapted or customized. In Finnish, the suffix -lle marks the recipient or destination (for, to), so mukautetulle is used to indicate that something is intended for a person or group for whom something has been adapted.

The term appears mainly in contexts related to accessibility, inclusive design, education, and services, where products or materials have been tailored to meet specific needs. It is typically followed by a noun in the illative or allative case to specify what is for whom: for example, mukautetulle käyttöliittymälle (for the adapted user interface), mukautetulle oppimateriaalille (for the customized learning material), mukautetulle asiakkaalle (for the adapted customer).

Grammatically, mukautetulle is not a standalone noun but a form that expresses suitability or tailoring toward a recipient. It highlights the intended user or beneficiary rather than the object itself. The construction is common in guidelines, product descriptions, and communications that emphasize accessibility and individualized design.

See also: mukautus (adjustment), mukauttaa (to adapt), esteettömyys (accessibility), saavutettavuus (usability/accessibility), inklusiivinen suunnittelu (inclusive design). These related terms describe processes and standards for creating products and services that accommodate diverse user needs.
