toteuttajaksi

Toteuttajaksi is the translative form of the Finnish noun toteuttaja, meaning an implementer, executor, or person responsible for realizing a project or task. The form expresses a role or function, roughly translating to “as the implementer” or “to become the implementer.” It is commonly used in administrative, procurement, and project-management language to specify which actor will carry out the work.

Morphology and usage: The term is formed by adding the translative suffix -ksi to the base toteuttaja. It appears in sentences that denote designation or transformation of a role, for example in procurement notices or official decisions. Typical constructions include valittiin toteuttajaksi (was chosen as the implementer) or nimeäminen toteuttajaksi (naming as the implementer). The expression can indicate both the act of becoming the implementer and the status of already holding that role.

Context and nuance: Toteuttajaksi is most common in formal contexts where it is important to specify responsibility for execution, such as public tenders, contracts, or project plans. It can refer to organizations, companies, or other entities, but its use implies a formal assignment rather than a casual description. In everyday language, speakers may prefer toteuttajana (as the implementer) or simply toteuttaja when referring to the role in a general sense.

Related terms: toteuttaja (the implementer), toteuttaminen (the act of implementing), toteutus (execution/realization). In procurement and governance, phrases like hankkeen toteuttajaksi nimeäminen or toteuttajaksi valitseminen are common to delineate responsibility and authority.

Etymology: Derived from toteuttaa (to realize/implement) with the agent noun suffix -taja and the translative -ksi, signaling a shift into the role of the implementer.
