suorittajiin

Suorittaja is a Finnish noun meaning a person who performs or completes tasks. It can refer to someone who carries out work duties, operates a device, or acts as a performer in a project or artistic context. In everyday and technical language, the term is used broadly to denote a doer or executor of actions.

Grammatical notes: The singular form is suorittaja. The nominative plural is suorittajat. The illative plural form is suorittajiin, used to indicate direction toward or inclusion in the group of doers or performers. For example, kohdattaessa questions or responsibilities may be directed to the group: Kysymykset ohjattiin suorittajiin.

Etymology and nuance: The word is formed from the verb suorittaa, “to perform, to carry out,” with the agentive suffix -aja, producing the noun suorittaja, “performer” or “doer.” The term is flexible across domains, counting workers, operators, researchers, or artists among its possible referents, depending on context. The illative plural suorittajiin therefore commonly appears in sentences that talk about directing information, responsibilities, or communication to the group of people who perform the tasks.

Related terms and distinctions: Suorittaja is distinct from toimittaja (supplier or journalist, depending on context) and toteuttaja (implementer or executor of a plan). The exact interpretation of suorittaja relies on context, and Finnish speakers may choose more specific terms in specialized fields.
