Velanottajalle

Velanottajalle is a Finnish grammatical form indicating the recipient or target of an action in relation to a loan. It is the allative (dative) form of velanottaja, a noun that refers to a person who borrows money, i.e., a borrower.

The base word velanottaja combines velka (debt) and ottaja (taker/receiver). In Finnish, case endings mark the role of a noun in a sentence, and the allative ending -lle signals direction toward someone or something. Therefore velanottajalle means “to the borrower” or “for the borrower,” depending on context. It is commonly used in legal, financial, and formal texts, but can also appear in ordinary language when specifying to whom something is addressed or paid in loan-related matters.

Usage context includes statements about loans, notices, or rights related to a loan that are directed at the borrower. For example, a contract might specify payments or communications to velanottajalle, or a notice might be delivered to velanottajalle. The form is not a separate lexical entry but a grammatical inflection of velanottaja.

Examples:

- Laina myönnettiin velanottajalle. (The loan was granted to the borrower.)

- Ilmoitus on toimitettu velanottajalle. (The notice has been delivered to the borrower.)

- Sopimus määrittelee velanottajalle kuuluvat oikeudet. (The contract specifies the rights belonging to the borrower.)

Related terms include velallinen (debtor) and velkoja (creditor), which reflect other roles in loan transactions.
