Virkatitteliä

Virkatitteliä is a Finnish linguistic term referring to the official title or designation used within the public sector. The compound is formed from virka (office, public service) and titteli (title).

Grammatically, virkatitteliä is the partitive singular form of virkatitteli, and it appears in sentences where the title is discussed in an indefinite or partially quantified sense, or in constructions that require the partitive case.

In usage, virkatitteliä is encountered mainly in formal, administrative, or legal Finnish. It can appear in official documents, policy texts, HR guidelines, and scholarly discussions of civil service nomenclature. The term emphasizes the public-service context of the title rather than a private-sector job designation.

Related terms include virkatitteli (the base form meaning “official title” in a general sense), virkasnimi (an official name or designation for a post), virkatehtävä (official duty), and virka (office). Differences among these terms center on scope: virkatitteli/virkatitteliä refers to the title itself, whereas virkasnimi or virkatehtävä refer to the role or function.
