päätökselleen

Päätökselleen is a Finnish word that translates to "to their decision" or "for their decision." It is the allative case of the word "päätös," which means "decision." The allative case in Finnish is used to indicate movement towards or destination, or in this context, for a purpose or reason. Therefore, "päätökselleen" suggests acting in accordance with or for the sake of a previously made decision.

The word is commonly used in sentences where someone is acting upon a resolution they have made. For example, if someone decides to quit smoking, they might say they are sticking "päätökselleen." This implies commitment and adherence to their chosen course of action. It can also be used in a more passive sense, where an outcome is a direct result of a decision made. The nuance of the word lies in its connection to a specific, often personal, resolution.

The use of "päätökselleen" highlights the grammatical structure of Finnish, where case endings convey a significant amount of meaning that might require prepositions or different word orders in other languages. It emphasizes the finality and the driving force behind an action stemming from a choice.
