sanomisen

Sanomisen is the Finnish noun formed from the verb sanoa, meaning to say or tell. As a nominalization, sanominen denotes the act of stating, informing, or reporting something. The genitive form sanomisen is used to indicate a relationship to another noun, for example sanomisen oikeellisuus (the accuracy of reporting) or sanomisten välitys (the transmission of information). The related noun sanoma refers to the message itself, whereas sanominen emphasizes the act of conveying that message.

In linguistic terms, sanominen functions as a process noun (a nominalized verb) and is commonly used in formal or technical contexts alongside other communication terms. It contrasts with ilmiöiden ilmoittaminen or tiedonvälitys, where the focus is on notification or transmission rather than the act of stating itself. Sanomisen usage spans journalism, law, media studies, and everyday speech, often in constructs that discuss reliability, ethics, or speed of communication.

Typical usages include phrases that describe aspects of communication, such as sanomisen tarkkuus (the precision of reporting), sanomisen vastuu (the responsibility of reporting), or sanomisten perillepääsy (the delivery of messages). The term is generally neutral but carries evaluative nuance when paired with adjectives like oikea, selvä, or epäluotettava, depending on the context.
