tiedostoille

Tiedostoille is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “to the files” or “for the files.” It is the allative case form used with the noun tiedosto (file) in the plural.

In Finnish, the allative case marks a direction toward a destination or recipient. When talking about multiple files, the allative suffix -lle is attached to the plural stem, producing tiedostoille. The singular allative form is tiedostolle, while the plural allative is tiedostoille.

Uses and examples

Tiedostoille is commonly found in sentences describing actions directed at multiple files or assigned to them. For example, in documentation, interfaces, or commands you might see phrases such as: “Anna tiedostoille oikeudet” (Grant rights to the files) or “Kopioi tiedostoille” (Copy to the files). The form helps specify that the action concerns more than one file.
