Vuokraaman

Vuokraaman is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb vuokrata, meaning to rent or lease. It is the genitive singular form of the present active participle vuokraava and is used to describe the agent of renting in noun phrases and relative clauses. In practice, vuokraaman functions to connect a noun to the actor performing the renting action, often in formal or literary contexts.

The form is typically found in complex noun phrases where the emphasis is on the rental relationship. For example, vuokraaman talon omistaja can be read as “the owner of the house that is being rented,” with vuokraaman indicating the house’s rental status within the phrase. Another example is vuokraaman asunnon vuokra, meaning the rent of the apartment that is being rented. The exact meaning depends on surrounding context and how the clause is constructed.

Usage notes: vuokraaman appears mainly in written or formal Finnish. In everyday speech, speakers more commonly use simpler constructions or different words to express similar ideas, such as vuokralainen for the tenant or vuokraaja for the landlord. When clarity and conciseness are important, direct relative clauses (joka vuokraa…) or alternative phrasing are often preferred.
