tehtänäni

Tehtänäni is a Finnish word that translates to "my task" or "my mission" in English. It is a common and versatile term used in various contexts.

In a general sense, tehtänäni can refer to any duty, responsibility, or objective that an individual has. This could be a simple chore, a professional obligation, or a personal goal. For example, someone might say "Tehtäväni on pestä astiat" which means "My task is to wash the dishes." In a work setting, it could be "Tehtäväni on raportoida myyntiluvut" meaning "My task is to report the sales figures."

The word is also frequently used in a more profound or aspirational way, implying a significant purpose or calling. In this context, "tehtäväni" can signify a life's work, a deeply held belief about one's role in the world, or a mission one feels compelled to undertake. This usage often carries a sense of importance and personal commitment. For instance, an artist might describe their creative pursuit as their "tehtäväni."

The grammatical form "tehtäväni" is a possessive form of the noun "tehtävä" (task, mission, job). The suffix "-ni" indicates first-person singular possession, meaning "my." Therefore, the word directly conveys ownership or personal responsibility for the task at hand. Its straightforward meaning makes it easily understood in everyday Finnish conversation.
