Tulotulojen

Tulotulojen is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the genitive plural of the compound noun tulotulo. The term tulotulo is not common in everyday speech; it appears mainly in economic, statistical, or formal texts to refer to categories or sources of income. Because tulotulo is a specialized term, tulotulojen is encountered predominantly in written reports, tax documents, and scholarly work rather than in casual language.

In use, tulotulojen denotes possession or relation to multiple income items. It is typically found in phrases describing the structure or sources of income, such as tulotulojen lähteet (sources of income streams) or tulotulojen jakauma (distribution of income streams). The exact meaning of tulotulojen depends on the surrounding context and on what the base noun tulotulo is intended to classify or quantify.

Tulotulojen is often contrasted with more common Finnish terms for income, such as tulot (income), ansiotulot (earned income), and pääomatulot (capital income). In most everyday contexts, speakers would choose these standard terms rather than tulotulo. The use of tulotulojen highlights particular linguistic or classificatory aims in statistical or legal texts, where precise categorization of income kinds is necessary.
