valvojen

Valvojen is a Finnish form that may appear in texts related to the word valvoja, which means a person who monitors, supervises, or guards a person, place, or process. In standard Finnish, the plural nominative is valvojat and the genitive plural is valvojien, as in "valvojien tehtävät" (the supervisors’ duties). The partitive plural is valvojia, and the genitive singular is valvojan. The form "valvojen" is not a recognized modern inflection of valvoja. If encountered, it is usually a misspelling of valvojien or a relic from older or dialectal usage. In contemporary usage it should be corrected to valvojien when indicating the possessive of multiple supervisors, or valvojan for the singular.

Valvoja is used in workplaces, schools, events, and public safety contexts to refer to an individual responsible for oversight, safety, or monitoring. In computing, the term can refer to a supervisor process or monitor. The root valvoa means to oversee or watch over. Related terms include valvonta (monitoring, surveillance), valvomo (control room), and valvontajärjestelmä (monitoring system).

If "valvojen" appears in a source, consider checking whether it was intended as "valvojien" or if it could reflect a dialectal spelling or a typographical error.
