tiedonanto

Tiedonanto is a Finnish noun that denotes the act of informing or a formal notice. It derives from the verb tiedottaa (to inform or notify) and is used to refer to providing information about something to someone. The term can describe both a spoken or written communication and a formal document delivering information.

In administrative and legal contexts tiedonanto refers to an official notification or communication from an authority or an organization to a person or group. It can announce decisions, obligations, deadlines, or instructions. Depending on the situation, a tiedonanto may be delivered as a letter, a formal document, or an electronic notice, and it typically specifies what is required of the recipient and by when.

Tiedonanto is closely related to other Finnish terms such as ilmoitus (notice or advertisement) and tiedote (bulletin or press release). A related concept is tiedonantovelvollisuus, the duty to provide information, which appears in areas such as governance, consumer rights, and data protection. While tiedonanto emphasizes the act of informing, other terms may highlight the content, purpose, or broader dissemination of information. The exact usage and tone of tiedonanto depend on context, ranging from casual everyday communication to formal official notifications.
