suorittaja

Suorittaja is a Finnish noun that denotes a person or entity that performs or carries out a task, action, or process. The word is formed from the verb suorittaa, meaning to perform, execute, or accomplish, with the agentive suffix -ja/-jä, yielding “the doer” or “the executor.” The term is generic and can be applied to various contexts where an obligation or action is completed by someone or something.

In everyday language, suorittaja refers to the person or party responsible for carrying out a task. It can appear in phrases such as tehtävän suorittaja (the task’s executor) or vastuussa suorittamisesta (responsible for execution). In practice, Finnish speakers often expand the expression to a fuller description, for example, the task performer, the implementer, or the party executing an assignment, depending on the precision required by the context.

The word is versatile and its exact nuance depends on usage. It is more common in generic or formal texts than in colloquial speech, where phrases like tekijä (doer) or vastuunalainen toimija (responsible actor) may be preferred. In technical or organizational language, suorittaja can function as a shorthand for an entity that executes defined commands or processes, though this usage is not standardized and may be substituted with more specific terms according to the domain.
