Tukemiset

Tukemiset is a Finnish plural noun derived from tukeminen, meaning acts of support, backing, or reinforcement. The term can refer to different kinds of support, depending on context, including social, economic, organizational, or physical forms of backing. In everyday language it is often used to describe measures or arrangements that provide assistance or stabilization.

In social and policy contexts, tukemiset denotes programs or actions that provide aid to individuals, organizations, or sectors. Examples include subsidies, grants, social benefits, or other financial or institutional supports implemented by governments, municipalities, or non-profit entities. The word is commonly used in discussions about public finance, welfare, or economic policy to summarize a set of supporting measures.

In construction and engineering, tukemiset refers to physical supports that stabilize a structure or worksite. This can include temporary bracing, shores, props, or other reinforcing elements used during building, reconstruction, or excavation to prevent movement or collapse.

Etymology and usage notes: tukemiset is the plural form of tukeminen, the nominalized form built from tuki (“support”). As such, tukemiset can describe multiple instances or types of support, across both abstract and concrete domains.
