Toiminto on suomalainen nouns meaning function, operation, or activity. The form toimintoissa is the inessive plural of toiminto, meaning “in the functions” or “in the activities.” It is used to describe what exists inside or occurs within several operations or processes, rather than a single function.

The genitive plural is toimintojen. The use of toimintoissa typically emphasizes multiple, interconnected operations or activities that belong to a larger whole, rather than a single isolated function.
