Rosteri

Rosteri is a Finnish noun meaning roster, list, or schedule. It refers to an official, often periodically updated list of people, items, or roles that designate participation, eligibility, or duty. The term is widely used across sectors to organize activities and resources and is typically derived from the English word roster, borrowed into Finnish in the 20th century.

In sports, a team's roster is the official list of players eligible to participate in a season or tournament, usually including names, positions, and jersey numbers. In workplaces and institutions, a roster (or duty roster) assigns personnel to shifts or tasks, supporting scheduling, attendance, and payroll. In education, a class roster lists students enrolled in a course or section. In media, events, and performing arts, a program roster or lineup outlines scheduled acts, speakers, or broadcasts.

Variants and related terms include the English loanword roster and Finnish companions such as lista or luettelo, which also mean lists. The concept of rosteri is closely related to other organizational tools such as schedules, lineups, and muster rolls used in more formal administrative or logistical contexts.
