A2 Collocation 正式

olla kykyä

to have the ability

意思

To be able to do something.

🌍

文化背景

Finns value 'silent competence'. Having 'kykyä' is often demonstrated through actions rather than words. In a workplace, a person with 'kykyä' is someone who can be trusted to work without supervision. Flat hierarchies mean that everyone is expected to have the 'kykyä' to contribute ideas, not just the bosses. Initiative is highly prized. The school system focuses on 'laaja-alainen osaaminen' (broad-based competence). The goal is to give every student the 'kykyä' to learn how to learn.

🎯

Use it in CVs

Instead of saying 'Osaan käyttää Exceliä', say 'Minulla on kykyä hallita monimutkaisia tietokantoja' to sound more senior.

⚠️

Avoid with 'Minä olen'

Never say 'Minä olen kykyä'. It's a classic beginner mistake. Always use 'Minulla on'.

Not exactly. 'Can' is usually 'voida' or 'osata'. 'Olla kykyä' is more like 'to have the capacity' or 'to have the potential'.

It's in the partitive case because ability is an abstract concept that you have 'some' of, not a single countable object.

Yes! You can say 'Koiralla on kykyä oppia temppuja' (The dog has the ability to learn tricks).

It's neutral to formal. It's very common in news, books, and work environments.

The opposite is 'olla kyvytön' (to be incapable) or 'ei olla kykyä'.

Yes, 'paljon kykyä' (a lot of ability) is very natural.

Use the basic infinitive form of the verb: 'kykyä + laulaa/juosta/tehdä'.

Yes, 'kykyjä' is the plural partitive. You use it when talking about multiple different abilities.

Usually, 'voima' is better for raw strength, but 'kykyä' works for athletic potential.

Rarely. In slang, people use 'pystyä' or 'hanskata'.

Only if you talk about yourself too much. Using it for others is very polite.

'Kyky' is potential/capacity; 'taito' is a specific, practiced skill.

Yes: 'Hänellä oli kykyä'.

Yes, especially in songs about ambition or self-discovery.
