lisätoimiin

Lisätoimiin is a Finnish noun phrase that means additional measures or further actions. It refers to steps taken beyond those that have already been implemented, usually to address new information, changing circumstances, or to strengthen a plan, policy, or operation. The expression is common in public administration, business, media, and everyday language when a decision maker signals that more action is needed.

In use, lisätoimiin can cover a wide range of actions, such as budget reallocations, new regulations, safety protocols, communication efforts, or logistical arrangements. It is typically paired with verbs like ryhtyä lisätoimiin (to undertake additional actions), ottaa lisätoimia käyttöön (to put additional measures into use), or tehdä lisätoimia (to implement additional measures). The form lisätoimiin is the plural illative or related inflection used with these constructions.

Etymology and form derive from lisä, meaning additional, and toim—from toimi, meaning action or operation. The term is mainly used in formal or semi-formal contexts, especially when authorities or organizations outline a plan to respond to evolving situations, such as emergencies, health crises, or policy adjustments.

Related terms include toimenpide (measure or action), toimenpiteet (measures), and lisäenergia or lisäresurssit, depending on the context. Lisätoimiin is a concise way to indicate that further steps beyond the initial ones are planned or required.
