Hallitusta

Hallitusta is the partitive singular form of the Finnish noun hallitus. Hallitus can refer to the government or to a governing body such as a board of directors in an organization or company. In political discourse, hallitus denotes the executive branch of the state; in corporate or institutional contexts, it refers to the board responsible for governance.

In Finnish grammar, hallitusta is used when hallitus is the object of a verb or when the sentence requires the partitive case. For example, hallitusta koskeva päätös means “a decision concerning the government,” with hallitusta functioning in the partitive. The form is also used in phrases like hallitusta koskevat tiedot, meaning “information concerning the government.” The partitive plural form is hallituksia, used in appropriate plural contexts.

Other core forms of hallitus include hallitus (nominative singular), hallituksen (genitive singular), and hallitukset (nominative plural). The term is related to hallinto, which denotes administration or governance more broadly, and to the concept of a governing body within a specific organization. Distinctions between hallitus as government and hallitus as a board depend on context and the governing level being described.

In usage, hallitus appears across political reporting, legal texts, and organizational descriptions. Its partitive form, hallitusta, enables precise expression of partial, indefinite, or object-focused references to governing bodies.
