Vuotuisen

Vuotuisen is the genitive singular form of the Finnish adjective vuotuinen, which means annual or yearly. It is used to describe a noun in the genitive case, indicating that the noun’s attribute relates to a year or a yearly period.

In practice, vuotuisen appears mainly in formal or written Finnish, such as financial reports, statistics, and official documents. It commonly accompanies nouns in the genitive: for example, vuotuisen tulon kehitys means the development of annual income, vuotuisen budjetin laatiminen means the drafting of the annual budget, and vuotuisen tilinpäätöksen laatiminen refers to preparing the annual financial statements.

Grammatically, Finnish adjectives decline to match the nouns they describe. Vuotuisen is the genitive singular form of vuotuinen. The corresponding forms include nominative singular vuotuinen, plural genitive vuotuisien, and partitive plural vuotuisia, depending on the noun and the grammatical role in the sentence.

Etymologically, vuotuinen is derived from vuosi (year) with a standard adjectival suffix, forming a word that denotes yearly frequency or duration. The inflected form vuotuisen is used only when coupled with a noun in genitive; as a standalone word, it is not typically used.

Because vuotuisen is predominantly a grammatical inflection rather than a standalone term, its appearance signals formal, year-related content. In everyday language, speakers may choose rephrasing to avoid heavy genitive constructions.
