vokaaleille

Vokaaleille is the plural allative form of the Finnish noun vokaali (vowel). In Finnish grammar, the allative case marks direction toward or beneficiary of an action, and the suffix -ille is used for the plural form. Therefore vokaaleille literally means “to the vowels” or “for the vowels” when referring to several vowels.

Morphology and form: The allative plural suffix is -ille. It is attached to the plural stem of the noun, so the singular allative is vokaalille, while the plural allative is vokaaleille. The form follows general allative patterns in Finnish; vowel harmony does not alter the suffix.

Usage: In everyday language the plural allative is uncommon and tends to appear in linguistic descriptions, educational contexts, or formal discussions where multiple vowels are explicitly the referent. Examples: Vokaaleille osoitettiin erityistä huomiota. Sääntöjä esiteltiin vokaaleille.

Notes: Vokaaleille, like other allative forms, is used to indicate target, recipient, or beneficiary in a sentence involving more than one vowel. It is a specialized form primarily relevant in linguistic analysis or theoretical contexts rather than in casual speech. Related terms include the allative form vokaalille (singular) and the general concept of the Finnish allative case.
