hankkima

Hankkima is a term that appears only sporadically in Finnish-language sources and is not part of standard Finnish vocabulary. In most contexts, the more common nouns for procurement-related ideas are hankinta (procurement, acquisition) and hankkiminen (the act of procuring). Hankkima, when encountered, is typically regarded as nonstandard, dialectal, or a coined form rather than a formal technical term.

Etymology and usage notes

Hankkima would be viewed as a derivation from the verb hankkia (to procure, obtain) using a nominalizing suffix. Because -ma forms are varied in actual usage and hankkima is not widely documented, its meaning is often interpreted contextually and may resemble “the act of procuring” or, in some cases, refer to an item procured. In practice, speakers are more likely to use hankinta or hankkiminen to convey standard procurement concepts. When hankkima appears, it is most commonly in informal writing, experimental prose, or marketing language where authors seek a distinctive or idiosyncratic term.
