Verotussanan

Verotussanan is a term that is not widely attested in standard Finnish references. In linguistic discussions it can be described as the genitive form of a hypothetical compound verotussana, which would mean a word related to taxation. Because verotussana is not a common dictionary entry, verotussanan is typically encountered only in analyses of tax-related vocabulary or in examples illustrating Finnish compound and case forms.

Etymology and form. The word would be built from verotus, meaning taxation, and sana, meaning word. The nominative would be verotussana, while the genitive singular form is verotussanan, used to express possession or association, as in verotussanan merkitys (the meaning of the tax-related word).

Usage and examples. In practice, verotussanan is more of a linguistic construct than a standard term. Writers usually prefer clearer phrasing such as verotukseen liittyvä sana or verotukseen liittyvä termi when describing a tax-related word. Example: Verotussanan määritelmä on kiistanalainen, but more ordinary texts would say Määritelmä verotukseen liittyvälle sanalle on kiistanalainen.
