sovellettavuudelle

Sovellettavuudelle is a Finnish word form derived from the noun sovellettavuus, which means "applicability" or "the potential to be applied." The ending -lle is the allative case marker in Finnish, conveying direction toward or benefit for something; thus sovellettavuudelle literally means "to/for applicability" or "with respect to applicability."

Linguistic and grammatical notes: the base verb is soveltaa ("to apply"), from which sovellettava ("applicable") and sovellettavuus ("applicability") are formed. The allative case is used to mark indirect objects, purpose, or direction, and sovellettavuudelle typically functions as an oblique noun phrase in sentences, for example when indicating that a rule, restriction, or consideration is directed at the question of applicability.

Contexts of use: the form appears most frequently in legal, administrative, technical, and academic texts where the applicability of laws, standards, methods, or findings is discussed. Examples include statements about limits, conditions, or grounds regarding whether a regulation or method can be applied in a particular situation.

Related terms: soveltuvuus (suitability) differs slightly in nuance from sovellettavuus (applicability); both derive from the same verb but are used in distinct contexts. As a declined form, sovellettavuudelle is not typically used as a standalone lemma but forms part of larger noun phrases or clauses.
