tilalliselle

Tilalliselle is the allative inflected form of the Finnish noun or adjective tilallinen. In Finnish grammar, the allative suffix -lle marks a destination or recipient in relation to a verb or clause, roughly corresponding to “to” or “for” someone in English. The form tilalliselle is created by attaching -lle to the stem tilallinen and is used with singular references to a recipient described by tilallinen.

Usage and examples can illustrate its function. It is commonly found with verbs of giving, sending, or addressing, where a recipient is expressed. For example, lahjoitus annettiin tilalliselle means “the donation was given to tilallinen,” and Lähetin paketin tilalliselle means “I sent the package to tilallinen.” The exact meaning depends on the base noun or adjective’s sense in context.

Plural use follows the general pattern of Finnish allative forms for plurals. Tilalliset (the plural form of tilallinen) would take the corresponding allative ending tilallisille, meaning “to the tilalliset” or, more naturally in context, “to the holders/recipients.” As with other allative forms, tilalliselle signals direction toward or for the recipient rather than a location.

Notes and related concepts: tilalliselle is a product of Finnish noun/adjective inflection and illustrates how the allative case functions across different word classes. It is one of many possible allative forms with -lle, including those formed from other stems such as suomalaiseen → suomalaisille.
