Tekemissä

Tekemissä is a nonstandard spelling of the Finnish noun form te kemisissä, which is the inessive plural of tekeminen (the act of doing, doing or activities). In standard Finnish, the correct form is te kemisissä. Tekemissä may appear as a misspelling or in some dialectal or informal texts, but it is not used in formal writing or in authoritative references.

The standard form te kemisissä comes from tekeminen, with the inessive plural ending -issä, used to indicate “in the doings” or “in the activities” of a subject. This form is commonly found in sentences that describe involvement or engagement in activities, often with the verb olla (to be) or olla tekemisissä (to be involved with).

Common usage patterns include phrases like olla tekemisissä jonkun kanssa, meaning “to have dealings with someone” or “to be involved with someone.” Examples:

- Olin tekemisissä useiden projektien kanssa. (I was involved with several projects.)

- Hän on tekemisissä erilaisten sidosryhmien kanssa. (She is involved with various stakeholders.)

In formal contexts, writers should use te kemisissä. Tekemissä is generally regarded as a spelling error or a nonstandard variant and may appear in casual writing, typographical mistakes, or dialectal text.
