huonemäärään

Huonemäärään is the illative singular form of the Finnish noun huonemäärä, a compound meaning "the number of rooms" in a dwelling. The term is used in housing and real estate contexts to refer to how many rooms a property contains, often appearing in descriptions, listings, and statistical data. As a grammatical form, huonemäärään indicates motion toward or reference to the number of rooms in a sentence, clause, or phrase.

Formation and etymology: huonemäärä combines huone ("room") and määrä ("number" or "amount"). The illative suffix -ään marks direction toward the referent, producing huonemäärään from huonemäärä. This is a standard pattern for illative forms of nouns ending in -ä. The stem remains huonemäärä with the suffix appended; in fluent speech, minor phonological adjustments may occur.

Usage: In formal text, one can say "huonemäärään liittyvät tiedot" (information related to the number of rooms) or "huonemäärään vaikuttavat tekijät" (factors affecting the number of rooms). The term is most common in real estate descriptions, rental agreements, and housing statistics. It is generally used in a neutral, descriptive manner.
