Suoritukset

Suoritukset is the plural form of the Finnish noun suoritus, a word with several related meanings. The root verb suorittaa means to perform, to execute, or to complete. Therefore, suoritus can refer to the act of performing something, a particular performance or result, or an achievement resulting from an action. In everyday language, it can denote a completed task, an exercise, or a noteworthy accomplishment.

In education, suoritukset commonly describe the completion of courses, modules, or assessments, and the associated grades or credits. Terms such as kurssisuoritus or opintosuoritus are used in student records to indicate that requirements have been met. The concept emphasizes a tangible outcome—what the student has achieved rather than just what was attempted.

In sports, arts, and professional contexts, suoritukset refer to performances in competitions or showcases, focusing on the quality or result of the action. Descriptions like good or strong suoritus highlight the merit of the performance. In technical and organizational settings, suoritus is used in phrases such as suorituskyky, meaning performance or capability, often describing the efficiency, capacity, or speed of a system or process.

The term is versatile and appears across disciplines to denote performing, completing, or achieving something. In plural form, Suoritukset can function as a generic reference to multiple performances or achievements, or as a thematic label in articles, reports, or descriptions.
