velvoitteitaan

Velvoitteitaan is a Finnish grammatical form derived from velvoite, meaning obligation or duty. It is used to indicate that the obligations belong to a subject, such as a person or an organization, and it is common in legal, contractual, and administrative language. The form expresses both plurality (velvoitteet) and possession, and the exact possessor is clear from context or accompanying pronouns. It can be translated loosely as "one's obligations" or "their obligations".

Examples include: "Yritys on täyttänyt velvoitteitaan" ("The company has fulfilled its obligations"). In formal text, the phrase can appear alongside other legal terms to describe duties that must be performed or reported.

Velvoitteitaan contrasts with velvoite (singular) and velvoitteet (plural) as nouns; velvoitteitaan is the possessive form used with a third-person subject. Velvollisuus, a related term, more often denotes a moral or general duty rather than a contractual obligation. The word is widely used in Finnish texts to describe obligations under a contract, law, or policy.
