Nimekkeet

Nimekkeet is the plural form of nimeke, a Finnish noun meaning a title, designation, caption, or label. The term is used to refer to the official label given to a work, an object, or a section of text, and it appears in both everyday language and technical contexts.

In everyday usage, nimeke can denote the title of a book, article, film, song, painting, or other creative work. It can also describe a label or heading used on a physical object or in a document, a webpage, or a user interface. The plural nimekkeet is used when discussing multiple titles or headings.

In bibliographic and archival contexts, nimeke is a technical term for the title field of a record. The nimeke usually reflects the exact wording of the work’s title, including any subtitles, and may be accompanied by additional information such as a translation, original language, or alternate title as part of the cataloging process.

Etymology: nimeke derives from the Finnish noun nimi, meaning “name,” together with the suffix -ke, forming a noun that conveys designation or labeling.
