Asumiseen

Asumiseen is a grammatical form in Finnish. It is the illative case of the noun asuminen, which denotes the concept of living, dwelling, or habitation. The illative suffix -en signals direction toward or toward a state related to the base noun, effectively translating to “into for living” or “for living” in English, depending on the context. In practice, asumiseen is most commonly used in contexts that concern housing, residence, or living arrangements rather than the act of living itself.

In use, asumiseen appears in several fixed constructions and compound phrases. It is frequently found with adjectives and verbs to indicate what is related to housing or living arrangements. Examples include asumiseen liittyvät kustannukset (housing-related costs) and asumiseen tarkoitetut tuet (funding intended for housing). The form is common in administrative, legal, and policy texts where housing issues, budgeting, or programs are discussed.

Grammatical notes: asumiseen is the illative form of asuminen, and it typically functions to express “for the purpose of living” or “in relation to living/housing.” It often occurs with nouns that name expenditures, programs, or regulations connected to housing, as well as with verbs and prepositional phrases that describe aims or relations to living arrangements.
