työtekijöiden

Työtekijöiden is the genitive plural form of the Finnish noun työntekijä, meaning "employee" or "worker." It translates to "of the workers" or "the workers’" and is used to express possession or association in noun phrases.

In Finnish, genitive forms mark relationships without a separate preposition. The phrase työtekijöiden [something] indicates something belonging to or involving multiple workers. Examples include työttekijöiden oikeudet (the workers’ rights), työtekijöiden määrä (the number of workers), and työtekijöiden kouluttaminen (training of the workers). The form also occurs in noun compounds and gerunds, such as kouluttaminen työtekijöiden kanssa (training with the workers).

Context and usage: The term is common in discussions related to labor, employment, and workplace matters. It appears in legal texts, human resources materials, statistical reports, and news coverage to refer to topics connected with employees as a group. Because it denotes a relation to multiple workers, the exact meaning depends on the head noun it modifies.

Notes: Työtekijöiden is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form used to link the workers to another noun or action. It is part of standard Finnish grammar and everyday usage, reflecting how possession and association are expressed without English-style prepositional phrases.
