kyvykkyksiä

Kyvykkyys is a Finnish noun meaning the ability or competence to perform a task. Kyvykkyyksiä is the partitive plural form used when referring to several capabilities, while kyvykkyydet is the nominative plural and kyvykkyyksien is the genitive plural. The term emphasizes an integrated set of skills, processes, knowledge, and resources that enable performance, not simply an isolated talent.

In everyday and professional Finnish, kyvykkyydet can refer to personal abilities or organizational capacities. For individuals, examples include communication kyvykkyys or analytical kyvykkyys; for organizations, IT-kyvykkyydet or logistiikkakyvykkyydet describe the ability to perform functions at scale. The concept is commonly used in business and management literature to discuss what enables effective execution and strategic advantage. The term is often used alongside osaaminen (skills/competence) and taidot (skills), but kyvykkyys implies an integration of multiple elements and sustainability.

In translation, kyvykkyydet is typically rendered as capabilities or competencies depending on context. The nuance is that capabilities include not only individual skills but also processes, systems, and resources that together enable performance. The plural forms help distinguish whether speaking about one set of abilities or multiple kinds across different domains. Kyvykkyydet is thus a versatile term in Finnish for describing what an person, team, or organization can effectively do.
