Hyväksymän

Hyväksymän is a Finnish linguistic term used to refer to a form or function associated with the agent or entity that gives approval in a process. In everyday Finnish, the word that more commonly denotes this role is hyväksyjä or the general noun hyväksyntä for the act of approving; hyvksymän appears mainly in more formal, bureaucratic, or descriptive language to describe the party responsible for approval.

In grammatical terms, hyvksymän is related to the verb hyväksyä (to approve). It can be encountered as part of compound noun phrases that indicate ownership or responsibility by the approving party. The form is not a standard, freely used noun in ordinary speech, but it may appear in dictionaries, grammars, or legal-technical texts that discuss agency, authority, or procedures where specifying the approving party is relevant.

Usage notes:

- Hyväksymän commonly functions in contexts that name or qualify the authority performing the approval, such as documents, decisions, or formal actions.

- It is typically found in phrases like “hyväksymän viran hoitaja” (the holder of the approving office) or “hyväksymän päätös” (the decision of the approving party). In many texts, simpler alternatives such as hyväksyjä or hyväksyntä would be used instead.
