Realisoida

Realisoida is a Finnish verb borrowed from European languages (Swedish realisera, French réaliser), ultimately from Latin realis, meaning "to make real" or "to realize." It functions as a transitive verb in Finnish and appears in both everyday and technical registers.

Primary meanings include: to actualize or implement an idea, plan or project (e.g., realisoida suunnitelma); to realize gains or losses by converting assets into cash, sell or liquidate property (e.g., realisoida omaisuus, realisoida voitto); and, in technical contexts, to implement or instantiate an abstract design in a practical form (e.g., realisoida laite tai järjestelmä). The counterpart intransitive form realisoitua denotes that something becomes realized or is actualized.

Morphological derivatives and related nouns are realisointi (realization, implementation) and realisoituminen (the process of being realized). The verb is generally neutral in tone but is more common in formal, administrative, legal and financial language than in colloquial speech, where equivalents such as toteuttaa (to carry out) or myydä (to sell) may be preferred.

Usage notes: in finance and accounting contexts, realisoida typically refers to converting non-liquid assets into cash and recognizing the resulting profit or loss. In project and product development it denotes putting concepts into practical operation. As a loanword, its use reflects specialized registers and is widespread in professional Finnish.
