virheille

Virheille is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the noun virhe, meaning error or mistake. It represents the allative plural form of virhe, and is used to indicate direction toward or for something: virheille translates roughly as “to the errors” or “for the errors.” The allative case in Finnish is marked with the suffix -lle and applies to both singular and plural nouns (virheelle for singular, virheille for plural).

In function, the allative signals destination, recipient, or beneficiary of an action, and it can also mark focus or direction in discourse. As such, virheille appears in contexts where errors are the target of discussion, analysis, or attention. It is most common in technical, scientific, or linguistic writing, as well as in quality assurance and error analysis discussions. In everyday Finnish, speakers more often use other cases or phrasing to refer to errors, such as talking about errors or errors of a certain kind without employing the allative form.

Morphologically, virheille is formed from virhe (root) with the plural stem virheet and the allative ending -ille. This mirrors how other Finnish nouns with the allative plural are inflected, illustrating the broader pattern of case usage in the language.

Examples:

- Keskustelu suuntautui virheille. (The discussion turned to the errors.)

Notes:

- Virheille is not a standalone lexical item; it is a grammatical form.

- Its meaning can vary slightly with context and verb choice, conveying direction toward or attention to errors.
