asuntoja

Asuntoja is the partitive plural form of the Finnish noun asunto, meaning a dwelling or apartment. In Finnish, asunto refers to a unit of housing that a person or household occupies as a residence, such as an apartment in a building or a house with living spaces. The word appears in many contexts, particularly when talking about housing supply, markets, or counts of dwellings.

In grammar, asuntoja is the partitive plural. It is used to indicate an unspecified or non-countable amount of dwellings or after numerals that require the partitive case. For example, kolme asuntoa (three dwellings) uses the partitive singular asuntoa, while viisi asuntoja (five dwellings) uses the partitive plural asuntoja. You can also say meillä on asuntoja (we have some dwellings). The form also appears in compound terms such as vuokra-asuntoja (rental apartments) and omistusasuntoja (owner-occupied dwellings).

In everyday and statistical Finnish, asuntoja is common when discussing housing stock, rental markets, and housing policy. It appears in reports, advertisements, and discussions about how many dwellings a city or organization owns or manages.
