Vuotuis

Vuotuis is a Finnish adjective meaning annual or yearly. It is used to describe events, measurements, or obligations that repeat once each year. The term is commonly found in financial, administrative, and statistical language.

The word derives from the noun vuosi, meaning year. In practice, vuotuis appears in compound noun phrases such as vuotuiset tulot (annual income) and vuotuiset kustannukset (annual costs). It is a standard descriptor in budgeting, reporting, and fiscal planning, where annual figures are contrasted with periodic or one-off values. While vuotuis is most typical in formal or official Finnish, it also occurs in journalism and policy documents.

In translation, vuotuis is usually rendered as “annual” or “yearly.” Finnish writers may also choose related forms depending on context, such as vuosittainen, which also conveys the sense of something happening once per year. The choice between vuotuis and related terms can reflect stylistic or dialect preferences as well as the exact nuance desired (for example, strict annual frequency versus a broader yearly time frame).
