Dokumentaatioy

Dokumentaatioy is a Finnish neologism that refers to the act or process of creating documentation. It is derived from the Finnish word "dokumentaatio" (documentation) with the addition of the suffix "-y," which can be used to form abstract nouns or verbs indicating an action or process. Therefore, "dokumentaatioy" essentially means "to document" or "the act of documenting."

The term is commonly used in professional contexts, particularly in fields such as software development, engineering, and project management, where thorough documentation is crucial for understanding, maintaining, and developing complex systems or projects. It emphasizes the active engagement in the creation and updating of written records, guides, manuals, and other forms of explanatory material. The concept behind "dokumentaatioy" highlights the importance of clear, comprehensive, and accessible documentation as a tool for knowledge transfer, collaboration, and ensuring the longevity and usability of information. While not a formal linguistic term with a long history, it has gained traction in informal and semi-formal communication within Finnish professional circles.
