viallisille

Viallisille is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective viallinen, meaning defective or faulty. It is the allative plural form, used when the adjective modifies a plural noun in the allative case. In practice, viallisille appears in phrases such as viallisille tuotteille, which translates roughly as “for defective products” or “to defective products.” The form shows agreement in both number (plural) and case (allative) with the noun it describes.

Usage and context

The term is common in technical, quality-control, recalls, warranties, and consumer communications contexts where defective items are singled out for action or attention. The allative construction highlights the recipient or target of an action, such as compensation, return, or disposal, related to defective items.

Examples

- Viallisille tuotteille on tarjottu palautus. (A return has been offered for defective products.)

- Viallisille komponenteille suunniteltu korjausohjelma on käynnistetty. (A repair program for defective components has been launched.)

Notes

Viallisille is not a standalone lexical item but a grammatical form that arises from viallinen. Its use tends toward formal or technical language, and it is most often encountered in written documentation, recalls notices, and regulatory or consumer communications.
