vaurioituneelle

Vaurioituneelle is the allative singular form of the Finnish participle vaurioitunut, meaning “damaged.” The allative case, marked by the suffix -lle, indicates the recipient or target of an action, roughly corresponding to “to/for” in English. In Finnish, adjectives and participles decline to agree with the noun they modify, so vaurioitunut becomes vaurioituneelle when referring to a singular recipient.

Usage: It appears when the damaged party is the recipient of an action. Example sentences: Korvaus maksettiin vaurioituneelle. Ohjeet lähetettiin vaurioituneelle. Vahinkotietoja toimitettiin vaurioituneelle. Plural form vaurioituneille refers to multiple damaged parties: Korvaukset maksettiin vaurioituneille.

Grammatical notes: Va­ruoitunut is the past participle of vaurioitua and functions like an adjective. When it is inflected for case and number, its ending changes to reflect the recipient or target. The form vaurioituneelle is the singular allative; vaurioituneille is the plural allative.

Etymology: The word derives from vaurio, meaning damage or injury, plus the participial form vaurioitunut, with the allative suffix -lle creating a phrase meaning “to the damaged person/party” or “for the damaged person/party.”

Context and usage: Vaurioituneelle is most common in formal, administrative, legal, or insurance-related texts where the damaged party is explicitly identified as the recipient of payments, information, or communications. In everyday spoken Finnish, speakers often restructure sentences to avoid heavy allative constructions.
