Vastuullisissa

Vastuullisissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish adjective vastuullinen, meaning responsible, conscientious, or reliable. It is used to describe people or roles in contexts that convey a sense of responsibility. The form appears when an attributive adjective accompanies a plural noun in the inessive case, such as in the phrase vastuuillisuus tehtävissä? Wait.

Correction: It is commonly used in phrases like vastuuullisissa tehtävissä, meaning “in responsible tasks/positions.” As a standalone word, vastuullisissa is not typically meaningful; its sense is determined by the noun it accompanies.

The term is frequent in formal or bureaucratic Finnish, workplace language, and journalism, where it helps specify the level of accountability associated with a group or role. It contrasts with vastuullinen in the singular, or with other case forms, depending on the grammatical structure of the sentence.

Etymology and meaning: vastuullinen derives from the noun vastuu (responsibility) plus the adjectival suffix -llinen, forming an adjective that denotes having the quality of responsibility. The word reflects a core Finnish concept of accountability in social and professional contexts. In English, vastuullisissa is best rendered as “in responsible positions” or “in roles of responsibility.”

Notes: The exact meaning of vastuullisissa depends on the accompanying noun in the sentence. It is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form used to indicate that those described are operating within a framework of responsibility.
