määränpäilleen

Määränpäilleen is a Finnish word that translates to "to their destination" or "to their intended place." It is the plural allative case of the noun "määränpää," which means destination or goal. The allative case in Finnish is used to indicate movement towards a place or goal, or to indicate the recipient of something. In this context, "määränpäilleen" specifically refers to multiple entities reaching their respective destinations or goals.

The word is often used in contexts related to travel, logistics, or the completion of a journey. For example, one might say "Matkustajat saapuivat määränpäilleen" which translates to "The passengers arrived at their destinations." It can also be used more figuratively to describe abstract goals being achieved by multiple individuals or groups. For instance, "Opiskelijat pääsivät määränpäilleen valmistumisen myötä" means "The students reached their goals with their graduation." The plural aspect is crucial, distinguishing it from the singular "määränpäähän" which would refer to a single destination. The possessive suffix "-en" indicates that the destinations belong to the subjects performing the action.
