osallistuville

Osallistuville is a Finnish grammatical form, not a standalone concept. It is the allative plural form of the participial adjective osallistuva, meaning “participating.” The allative suffix -lle marks direction or recipient, so osallistuville translates to “to the participants” or “for the participants.” It is commonly used to designate the audience, recipients, or target group of actions such as notices, programs, surveys, or services.

In practice, osallistuville appears in sentences that specify who a communication or offering is intended for. For example, tilaisuus on suunnattu osallistuville (the event is aimed at the participants), kysely lähetetään osallistuville (the survey is sent to the participants), or ohjeet toimitetaan osallistuville (the instructions are delivered to the participants). The form helps indicate the plural recipient group without using a separate noun.

Grammatical note: osallistuville is plural. The corresponding singular allative form would be osallistuvalle (to the participant). Finnish uses case endings rather than articles, so the allative ending conveys the intended recipient directly from context.
