Järjestävinä

Järjestävinä is a Finnish term formed as the plural essive form of the present active participle of the verb järjestää, meaning to organize. It translates roughly to “as organizers” or “in the capacity of organizers.” The form is used to describe people or groups who perform organizing tasks in a given situation, often in a predicative or post-nominal role.

In usage, järjestävinä appears mainly in written or formal contexts, such as event descriptions, project documentation, or minutes. It can function as a predicative complement after verbs like toimivat or vastasivat, or as an adjectival modifier describing those who organize.

Examples:

- Kokouksen järjestävinä toimivat vapaaehtoiset vastasivat käytännön järjestelyistä. (The volunteers who act as organizers were responsible for practical arrangements.)

- Hankkeen järjestävinä toimivat paikallisyhdistykset ja vapaaehtoiset. (The local associations and volunteers who organize the project.)

Etymology and form:

- It derives from järjestää (to organize) plus the present active participle stem, inflected in the essive plural to convey “as organizers.” The form is typically used when listing roles or describing people in the capacity of organizing.

Notes:

- Järjestävinä is distinct from singular forms like järjestävänä or from nyanssillisesti different constructions such as järjestäjinä, which emphasizes the organizer as a noun rather than a participial role. The term is most common in formal or descriptive Finnish.
