Yhteydenotoilla

Yhteydenotoilla is a Finnish noun form derived from the base word yhteydenotto, which means the act of making contact or reaching out to someone. The form yhteydenotoilla is the plural adessive, roughly translating to “with the contact attempts” or “by contacting (them).” It is used to refer to outreach activities as a process or method, often in formal or administrative contexts. The term is closely related to the verb ottaa yhteyttä, meaning “to contact.”

In practice, yhteydenotoilla is commonly used in business, public administration, and media to describe outreach campaigns, customer-contact efforts, recruitment activities, or informational campaigns. It emphasizes the means or approach of contacting rather than the outcome. For example, in reports or planning documents one might read, “yhteydenotoilla tavoitettiin asiakkaat” (the customers were reached by outreach) or “yhteydenotoilla saatiin vastauksia” (answers were obtained through contact attempts). The word can also appear in guidelines or dashboards that track outreach metrics.

Linguistic note: yhteydenotoilla is the plural adessive form of yhteydenotto. The singular adessive form is yhteydenotolla (with one contact). In everyday language, the base noun yhteydenotto is more common, while yhteydenotoilla appears mainly in formal or organizational text to describe multiple contact attempts or channels used in outreach.
