Vuosikorosta

vuosikorosta is the ablative case form of the Finnish noun vuosikorko, which means annual interest rate. In Finnish grammar, compound nouns such as vuosikorko take case endings to indicate grammatical relationships. The suffix -sta (or -stä) marks the elative, commonly translated as "from" or "out of." Therefore vuosikorosta literally means "from the annual interest" and is used to indicate the source or basis of something, such as funds or revenue.

Usage and meaning

As a case form, vuosikorosta does not denote a separate concept on its own. It is used in sentences where the action or resource originates in the annual interest. It can appear in financial writing to specify that payments, revenues, or financing come from the annual interest rather than from other sources.

Examples

Tulot tulevat vuosikorosta. (The income comes from the annual interest.)

Hankinnat rahoitetaan vuosikorosta. (The acquisitions are financed from the annual interest.)

Kokonaislaskelma perustuu vuosikorosta saataviin tuottoihin. (The overall calculation is based on the returns obtainable from the annual interest.)

Relation to related terms

Vuosikorosta is distinct from vuosikorko, which is the annual interest rate itself. The genitive form vuosikoron refers to “of the annual interest.” The term is primarily a grammatical form used in Finnish texts and is not typically treated as a separate technical concept.
