rikkomiselle

Rikkomiselle is a Finnish grammatical form that appears in the allative case of the noun rikkominen, which means violation, breach, or infringement. The word rikkomiselle is not a standalone concept on its own; it is the form used to indicate direction toward, or relevance to, a violation in sentences that describe penalties, obligations, or actions directed at the offense.

Formation and meaning

Rikkominen (the act of violating) can take the allative suffix -lle to yield rikkomiselle. The allative case commonly marks direction toward a goal or object of action, and in regulatory or legal language it is used to denote the offense being referenced. Thus, rikkomiselle literally points to the violation as the entity to which an action or consequence applies.

Usage in contexts

Rikkomiselle appears primarily in legal, administrative, and policy texts. It frames statements where sanctions, duties, or procedures are described as applying to the offense rather than to the person in a generic sense. Examples of typical phrasing include:

- Rikkomiselle määrättiin seuraamus (A sanction was imposed for the violation).

- Rikkomiselle asetettavat seuraamukset (the sanctions to be set for the violation).

Relation to related terms

The base concept is rikkominen (violation or infringement). Rikkomiselle functions as a grammatical form used to connect actions or rules to the specific offense. For plural or other cases, different forms are used, such as rikkomisista (from the violations) or rikkomisella (with/by the violation) depending on the intended meaning.
