Tutustumista

Tutustumista is a Finnish noun meaning the act of getting acquainted or familiarizing oneself with someone, a place, a product, a system, or an organization. It derives from the verb tutustua (to become acquainted) and the nominal form tutustuminen; tutustumista is the partitive singular used when the action is described as an ongoing or indefinite activity.

In everyday language, tutustumista covers a range of activities. In workplace contexts, it refers to onboarding or orientation, such as getting to know a new employer, colleagues, or a software system. In education and training, it can describe familiarization with course content, procedures, or learning environments. It can also denote a guided introductory visit or tour to a location or service.

Grammar and usage: tutustumista is used in sentences where the action is treated as an ongoing activity or as a part of a larger situation, often following verbs or expressions that require a partitive object. For example, discussions about tutustumista uusiin käytäntöihin or tutustumista yritykseen illustrate its role as a non-finite activity.
