yhdenmukaiselle

Yhdenmukaiselle is the allative singular form of the Finnish adjective yhdenmukainen, which means in accordance with, conforming to, or consistent with a standard, rule, norm, or form. The word is used to describe a noun in the allative case and often signals a target or recipient of conformity or alignment with a specific standard or guideline.

Etymology and morphology: The adjective yhd enhmukainen is derived from the stem mukainen, meaning like or similar, combined with the genitive form of yksi (one) to convey “in line with one standard.” Finnish adjectives decline like other modifiers of nouns, so the allative form ends in -lle, producing yhdenmukaiselle. This form is used when the modified noun is in the allative case, for example with a noun such as standardille (to a standard) or ohjeelle (to a guideline).

Usage and nuances: Yhdenmukaiselle is most common in formal or technical language where emphasis is placed on conformity with a specified standard, regulation, or protocol. It contrasts with the base form yhdenmukainen, which describes something as in line with the standard, and with adverbial forms such as yhdenmukaisesti, which describe the manner of conformity. In practice, yhdenmukaiselle appears in phrases where the noun it modifies is in the allative case, indicating the target toward which conformity is directed.

Examples: Ohjeet laadittiin yhdenmukaiselle standardille. Toimenpiteet suunnattiin yhdenmukaiselle vaatimukselle. These illustrate how the form links a noun in the allative to the concept of conformity or alignment with a standard or rule.
