Tehtävistämme

Tehtävistämme is a Finnish expression that translates roughly as "of our tasks" or "from our tasks." It is formed from tehtävä (task) in its plural stem with the first-person plural possessive suffix -mme and the suffix -stä, which marks origin or relation. The result is a genitive plural form used to indicate that the referenced tasks belong to or are produced by the speaker’s group. The exact nuance varies with context, but the phrase commonly signals ownership, responsibility, or data derived from the group’s work.

In usage, tehtävistämme appears mainly in formal or written Finnish within organizational or project discourse. It can introduce a noun phrase describing something associated with the group’s tasks, for example: "Raportti käsittelee tehtävistämme koostuvia vastuita" (The report concerns responsibilities arising from our tasks) or "tehtävistämme kerätty data" (data collected from our tasks).

Morphology-wise, the construction demonstrates how Finnish can express possession and origin by attaching multiple suffixes to a noun, rather than relying on separate words. The combination of -stä (from/of) and -mme (our) attaches to tehtävä in its plural form to yield tehtävistämme, a compact way to indicate that what is being referred to relates to the speaker’s task group.

See also related terms include tehtävä (task), tehtävät (tasks), vastuu (responsibility), and tehtävälista (task list).
