tehtävilleen

Tehtävilleen is a Finnish word that translates to "to their tasks" or "to their duties." It is a possessive form of the noun "tehtävä," meaning "task" or "duty," combined with the third-person plural possessive suffix "-lleen." This suffix indicates that the tasks or duties belong to a group of people or things.

The word is commonly used in contexts where multiple individuals or entities are expected to fulfill their responsibilities. For example, one might say "Opiskelijat olivat tehtävilleen" which means "The students were up to their tasks" or "ready for their duties." It implies a readiness or engagement with the work that is assigned to them.

In a broader sense, "tehtävilleen" can also refer to the inherent functions or purposes of objects or concepts. For instance, if discussing a machine, one might say it is "performing its tasks" or "fulfilling its purpose." The grammatical structure allows for flexibility in its application, covering both personal and functional responsibilities. The word emphasizes the fulfillment or engagement with assigned roles or objectives.
