pitkäikäisyydelle

Pitkäikäisyydelle is the allative form of the Finnish abstract noun pitkäikäisyys, which denotes longevity or long life. The allative suffix -ydelle expresses direction, purpose, or target, so pitkäikäisyydelle can be translated as "for longevity" or "toward longevity." The base word combines pitkä (long) andikä (age) with the -isyys suffix, turning into an abstract noun.

In usage: It appears in formal or technical language, especially in gerontology, epidemiology, health policy, and scientific writing to specify aims or targets related to longevity. Examples: "Ohjelma on suunniteltu pitkäikäisyydelle" (The program is designed for longevity). "Pitkäikäisyydelle asetetut tavoitteet ovat korkeita" (The goals set for longevity are high). "Pitkäikäisyydelle suunnatut toimet" (Measures directed at longevity). "Pitkäikäisyyteen tähtäävät tutkimukset" (Studies aiming at longevity).

Notes: The term is relatively formal and less common in everyday speech. It can occur with verbs or adjectives that govern allative phrases, including policy statements and research descriptions. In translation, pitkäikäisyydelle is typically rendered as "for longevity" or "toward longevity," depending on context.
