Asuntokohtaisella

Asuntokohtaisella is a Finnish adessive form of the compound adjective asuntokohtainen, meaning housing-related or pertaining to housing. The word combines asunto (dwelling, housing) with the suffix -kohtainen (pertaining to) and is inflected with the adessive -lla to indicate the context or parameter in which something is organized or considered. In practice, asuntokohtaisella is used to express “in relation to housing,” “in housing matters,” or “with housing-related regard.”

The term appears mainly in official language, policy documents, statistical reports, and academic or administrative writing. It helps to delimit topics to the housing sector or housing issues. Common constructions include phrases such as asuntokohtaisella rahoituksella (with housing-related funding), asuntokohtaisella tasolla (at a housing-related level), asuntokohtaisella näkökulmalla (from a housing-related perspective), and asuntokohtaisella politiikalla (in housing policy).

Etymology and form: the base is asunto, meaning housing or home, combined with kohti- or -kohtainen to form asuntokohtainen, meaning housing-related. The form asuntokohtaisella is the adessive case used to indicate the context of an action or measure, such as “with regard to housing.”
