Pääsyjä

Pääsyjä is a Finnish noun meaning accesses, admissions, or entries. It is the plural form of pääsy and is used to refer to multiple instances of access to a place, resource, or opportunity. The sense can be physical, such as entry to a building, or abstract, such as permissions to data or services, or opportunities to participate in an activity.

Contexts in which pääsyjä appears include physical security, where it may describe the number of entry points or access events. In information technology and security, more common terms are pääsyoikeudet or käyttöoikeudet, but pääsyjä can be used when counting discrete access permissions or events, for example: “Käyttäjälle on myönnetty useita pääsyjä tietoihin” or “Järjestelmän pääsyjä on rajoitettu.”

Origin and form: The word derives from the verb päästä, meaning to get in or reach, by adding the noun-forming suffix -sy; the plural is -jä.

Usage notes: Pääsyjä is a countable plural noun. For abstract, general access, speakers more often use pääsy in the singular. When counting distinct access points, events, or permissions, pääsyjä is appropriate.
