syötteesi

Syötteesi is a Finnish noun phrase meaning your input. It is the second-person singular possessive form of the noun syöte, which refers to data or information that is supplied to a system, program, or process. The term is commonly used in information technology, data processing, user interfaces, and technical documentation to denote data provided by a user.

Etymology and form: The root syöte comes from the concept of data being “fed” into a computer or process. The possessive suffix -si marks ownership by the person being addressed, yielding syötteesi. In everyday usage, the form signals that the input belongs to the user and is subject to validation, processing, or review.

Usage: In practice, syötteesi can appear in user-facing messages or developer materials. Examples include phrases such as “Syötteesi on kelvollinen” (Your input is valid) or “Syötteesi sisältää virheellisiä arvoja” (Your input contains invalid values). The term is common in forms, APIs, validation rules, and help or error messages, where it explicitly refers to data supplied by the user.

Relation to other terms: The general concept is syöte, meaning input data. The opposite concept in computing contexts is ulostulo or tuloste, referring to the data produced by a system. Finnish also allows various possessive forms for plural or formal contexts, such as syötteenne for multiple inputs addressed to a group.
