selaimille

Selaimille is the allative plural form of the Finnish noun selain, meaning browser. In Finnish, the suffix -ille marks the allative case, which is used to indicate the target or recipient of an action. Therefore selaimille literally means “to browsers” or “for browsers.” It is a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept and appears in phrases that treat web browsers as the recipients or beneficiaries of an action.

In practice, selaimille is commonly found in technical writing, software localization, and user interface text to indicate compatibility, support, or guidance for web browsers. Examples include “tuki selaimille” (support for browsers) and “selaimille suunniteltu käyttöliittymä” (a browser-oriented user interface). The form is used to refer to any number of browsers as a group, without specifying a particular brand.

Related terms include selain (browser) and forms such as selaimesta (from a browser) or selaimeen (to a browser). Selaimille is primarily a grammatical tool for describing relations to web browsers in Finnish texts, rather than a separate technical concept. Correct usage helps clarify which software environments are being addressed in documentation and localization notes.
