Nimityksenä

Nimityksenä is a Finnish word that translates to "as a designation," "by appointment," or "as a title" in English. It is often used in contexts related to official positions, roles, or honors. The word itself is derived from the Finnish verb "nimittää," which means to appoint, to nominate, or to name.

When someone is referred to as "nimityksenä" something, it implies they have been formally chosen or assigned to that role or position. This could be in a professional capacity, such as a new CEO or a committee member, or it could refer to an honorary title bestowed upon an individual. The term emphasizes the official nature of the appointment, distinguishing it from informal roles or self-proclaimed titles.

For example, if a person is appointed to a board of directors, their role on the board would be described as a "nimitys." Similarly, if an academic is awarded a distinguished professorship, their new title would be a "nimitys." The word carries a sense of official recognition and selection.

The usage of "nimityksenä" is common in Finnish administrative and organizational language. It is a precise term that clearly communicates that a person's position or status is a result of a formal decision or selection process. It is not typically used for everyday tasks or temporary responsibilities unless those are formally assigned.
