ohjaamiselle

Ohjaamiselle is a Finnish inflected form that appears in the allative case, indicating direction toward the act of guiding or directing. It derives from the noun ohjaaminen, meaning guiding, steering, or administration, which itself comes from the verb ohjata (to guide). The allative suffix -lle marks purpose, destination, or target, so ohjaamiselle translates roughly as “for the guiding” or “to the guidance.”

In use, ohjaamiselle is typically found in formal or technical contexts, such as policy documents, organizational planning, or linguistic discussions about Finnish grammar. It refers to the purpose, direction, or focus of guiding activities, rather than the act of guiding itself in a general sense. For example, a sentence might say that resources are allocated for ohjaamiselle, meaning resources are allocated for the act or process of guiding or directing a project, program, or institution. The form helps distinguish what the guiding activity is aimed at, such as a program’s governance, administration, or supervision.

Examples:

- Koulun ohjaamiselle on varattu riittävät resurssit. (Sufficient resources have been allocated for the guiding/management of the school.)

- Ohjaamiselle asetettiin selkeät tavoitteet. (Clear objectives were set for the guidance/management.)

Relation to other forms: ohjaaminen refers to the act of guiding itself; ohjaus is a broader term often used for guidance or control processes. Ohjaamiselle specifically marks the addressed purpose or target of guiding efforts when expressed in the allative form.
