sanastolle

Sanastolle is the allative singular form of the Finnish noun sanasto, meaning glossary or vocabulary. In Finnish grammar, the allative case expresses direction toward a recipient, destination, or target. Therefore sanastolle translates roughly as “to the glossary” or “for the glossary” and is used when an action or reference is directed at the glossary itself.

In practical use, sanastolle is typically found in contexts involving the glossary as a destination or repository. For example, Käännöksiä lisättiin sanastolle means “Translations were added to the glossary.” The form can also appear in instructions or descriptions that designate the glossary as the intended recipient or target of an operation, such as updates, additions, or categorization.

Morphology and related forms are important for understanding sanastolle. The base sanasto takes various inflections: genitive sanaston, partitive sanastoa, inessive sanastossa, illative sanastoon, and translative sanastoksi. The allative sanastolle specifically marks “to the glossary” and is one of several case forms Finnish nouns can take to convey direction or purpose.

Usage notes: sanastolle is most common in technical writing, linguistic resources, or any text dealing with dictionaries or glossaries. It can appear in headings or sentences that describe actions directed at the glossary, such as updating terms or transferring items to the glossary.
