reaktioitaan

Reaktioitaan is a Finnish word that conveys the idea of “their reactions,” referring to the responses of a group rather than an individual. It is a grammatical form used in contexts where the focus is on how several people or entities have reacted to a stimulus, event, or issue. The term is commonly found in academic writing, journalism, and analysis within social sciences, marketing, and communications, where researchers or reporters summarize and compare the responses of participants, audiences, or stakeholders.

Usage and characteristics

The form appears in texts that discuss collective or group responses. Because it denotes multiple reactions, reaktioitaan is typically used when the subject of interest is plural and the discussion centers on the nature, extent, or variation of those reactions. It can be encountered in sentences describing study findings, survey results, public sentiment, or stakeholder feedback. In Finnish, such possessive and plural forms are a standard tool for precisely indicating whose reactions are being described.

Examples

- Tutkimuksessa analysoitiin vastaajien reaktioitaan kriisiviestinnässä. (The study analyzed the respondents’ reactions to crisis communication.)

- Julkinen keskustelu kartoitti yleisön reaktioitaan uusien sääntöjen jälkeen. (The public debate mapped the public’s reactions after the new rules.)

- Yritys seurasi asiakkaidensa reaktioitaan uudistuksesta.
