osanottajille

osanottajille is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “to/for the participants.” It is the allative plural form of the noun osanottaja (participant or attendee). The allative case, marked by the suffix -lle, indicates direction toward or benefit for the recipients of an action. Used in written and formal Finnish, osanottajille specifies who is intended to receive information, materials, invitations, or services.

Formation and usage. The base noun osanottaja denotes a participant. In the plural nominative it is osanottajat, and adding the allative suffix -lle yields osanottajille, i.e., “to the participants.” This form appears in contexts such as invitations, distributions, and communications related to events, meetings, or courses.

Examples. Kutsut on lähetetty osanottajille. (The invitations have been sent to the participants.) Materiaali on jaettava osanottajille. (The material is to be distributed to the participants.) Kysely lähetettiin osanottajille. (The survey was sent to the participants.)

Notes. Osa jaottaminen is a different word path in Finnish; osanottaja belongs to the group of nouns derived for someone who participates in an activity. The form osanottajille helps speakers and writers clearly indicate the target audience or beneficiaries of an action.
