Pääsyt

Pääsyt is a Finnish noun meaning access, admission or entry. It is the plural form of pääsy and refers to the permissions or means by which someone can enter a place, service or resource. Pääsyt can denote physical access granted by tickets, passes or badges, as well as digital access such as login credentials or authorization rights. The term is used in everyday language, in administration, event management and information security to talk about who may enter or use something.

Grammatically, pääsyt is the nominative plural form; the singular is pääsy and the genitive is pääsyn. The word often appears in compound phrases that describe the type of access, for example pääsyt järjestelmään (access to a system) or alueen pääsyt (access to an area). In contexts dealing with tickets, the more specific term pääsylippu is often used, but pääsyt remains common when discussing access rights rather than individual tickets.

In practical use, pääsyt appear in settings such as event planning, where organizers discuss admissions and credentials issued to participants, staff or performers. In workplaces and facilities, access control systems manage who has pääsy to restricted areas, often using cards or codes. In information technology, pääsyt refer to the permissions and credentials that authorize a user to access data or services.

Translations commonly include English access or admission, with equivalents in other languages such as Swedish tillträde or German Zugang. Related Finnish terms include pääsy (singular), lupa and valtuutus, which emphasize permission or authorization.
