arvioijan

Arvioijan is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun arvioija, meaning an evaluator, assessor, reviewer or appraiser. The term refers to a person who evaluates, judges or assesses something, such as a project, performance, property or process. In written Finnish, arvioijan is used to indicate possession or association, for example arvioijan lausunto (the evaluator’s statement), arvioijan mielipide (the evaluator’s opinion) or arvioijan raportti (the evaluator’s report).

Grammatical notes: arvioija is formed from the verb arvioida, “to evaluate,” with the agentive suffix -ija. The genitive singular ending is -n, producing arvioijan. This form is used to show ownership or attribution in phrases that describe what belongs to or relates to the evaluator. Other related forms include arvioijaa (partitive) or arvioijansa (his/her/their evaluator), depending on the sentence structure.

Usage and context: arvioija appears in administrative, legal, academic and research texts where an evaluation is conducted by a specific person or authority. It helps specify who performed the evaluation and ties the output to that person. For example, a document might state that “arvioijan lausunto” or “arvioijan arvio hankkeesta” informs decision-making, or that a particular organization consulted an external arvioija for an independent assessment.
