Rahoittui

Rahoittui is a Finnish verb form meaning was funded or became financed. It is the past tense, third-person singular form of the intransitive verb raahoittua (to be financed). The term is used to describe a situation where financial backing became available for a project, organization, or activity, rather than describing the act of providing funds directly. In practice, rahoittui emphasizes the receipt or availability of funding from external sources.

The word is related to the concepts of financing and funding, and it often appears in reports, news articles, and project announcements. In many cases, more common expressions are used to describe funding flowing to a project, such as hankkeen sai rahoituksen (the project received funding) or hankkeen rahoitus on järjestetty (the project’s financing has been arranged). Rahoittua, the related verb form, highlights the process of obtaining funding rather than the act of disbursing it.

Usage notes: rahoittui can be used for public, private, or mixed funding arrangements, and it typically refers to funding that has become available by a certain time. It is generally considered formal; everyday language might prefer phrases like sai rahoituksen or sai rahoitusta.

Example sentences: Hanke rahoittui EU:n tuilla. The project was funded with EU support. Elokuva rahoittui sekä yksityis- että julkislähteistä. The film was financed from both private and public sources.
