Tekijätkuten

Tekijätkuten is a Finnish neologism that appears in informal online writing. It blends the words tekijät (creators, authors) and kuten (such as) into a single token. The form is not widely attested in standard Finnish dictionaries and is generally described as informal or experimental. In standard Finnish, the sense is normally conveyed with the two-word phrase tekijät kuten, which means "creators such as" or "creators, such as." The single-word variant is most commonly found in social media posts, blogs, and discussion forums where users experiment with orthography for emphasis or brevity. Because it is informal and nonstandard, many editors and style guides recommend using the two-word construction in formal writing. The term illustrates a broader tendency in Finnish to fuse function words with content words in online typography, though such practices are contested and not universally accepted. Users who encounter tekijätkuten should consider context: in neutral or formal texts, prefer tekijät kuten; in the most casual discourse, the single token may appear as a stylistic flourish.
