sopimukselle

Sopimukselle is the allative case form of the Finnish noun sopimus, meaning contract or agreement. It marks direction toward or the target of an action, and is commonly used in formal or legal language to indicate what is being acted upon or for whom something is intended. The form is built from the nominal stem sopimus plus the suffix -lle.

In practical use, sopimukselle denotes a destination, recipient, or beneficiary related to a contract. For example, a deadline can be set for the contract: Määräaika sopimukselle asetettiin. Changes can be made to the contract: Sopimukselle tehtiin muutoksia. Additional terms can be imposed on the contract: Lisäehtoja sopimukselle voidaan asettaa. It can also appear in phrases where the contract is the object of referential or procedural actions, such as notices, requirements, or obligations directed at the contract.

Sopimukselle contrasts with other case forms of sopimus: sopimukseen (illative – into the contract), sopimuksessa (inessive – in/on the contract), sopimuksella (elative/where something is located on or about the contract). The allative form is part of Finnish noun inflection and is used to specify the target or scope of an action in relation to a contract.

Related terms include sopimus (the base noun), and plural forms such as sopimuksille for the plural allative. In legal and administrative Finnish, sopimukselle is a common construction for signaling actions taken with respect to a contract.
