Käskyjä

Käskyjä is the plural of käsky, a Finnish noun meaning orders or commands. It is used to refer to directives issued by a person or authority, as well as to sets of instructions that must be followed. In everyday language käskyjä can describe rules given by a supervisor, a parent, or an organization; in military, police, or emergency services contexts, käskyjä denotes formal commands that carry obligation on those expected to act.

The word is native to Finnish; etymology traces to older Finnic forms and it conveys a sense of authority and compulsory compliance. It is often contrasted with less forceful terms such as ohje (instruction) or suositus (recommendation).

In computing and technology, käskyjä is used to translate the concept of commands or instructions in user interfaces or programming. Depending on context, more specific terms such as komento or käsky may be used, particularly to distinguish between user-level commands and higher-level directives.

Käskyjä can appear in legal or administrative language when describing official directives, orders issued by authorities, or organizational mandates. The plural form allows reference to multiple directives at once, without specifying any particular source or content.
