jakamisen

Jakamisen is a Finnish noun formed from the verb jakaa, meaning to share or to divide, with the nominalizing suffix -minen. The word refers to the act or process of sharing, distributing, or dividing something among recipients. In grammatical terms, jakamisen is the genitive form of jakaminen, used to indicate possession, relation, or attribution, as in phrases like jakamisen periaatteet (the principles of sharing/distribution) or jakamisen oikeudenmukaisuus (the fairness of distribution).

In everyday Finnish, jakamisen can describe both social and practical acts. It appears in discussions about how resources, information, or responsibilities are allocated among people or groups. The sense can range from informal sharing among individuals to formal allocation in policy or organizational contexts. In mathematics, a cognate concept is jakaminen as division, the operation of dividing numbers.

The term is also used in technology and ethics discussions, for example in relation to data sharing (tietojen jakamisen turvallisuus) or collaborative workflows, where the emphasis is on how access, ownership, and responsibilities are distributed among participants. As a linguistic form, jakamisen is versatile and appears in many noun phrases to denote the object of sharing, the process itself, or the conditions governing distribution.
