kalkkikivilaskun

Kalkkikivilaskun is a Finnish compound noun built from kalkkikivi, meaning limestone, and lasku, which can mean calculation or invoice. The form kalkkikivilaskun is the genitive singular of lasku, so in practice it functions as a possessive phrase that can indicate a relationship to a limestone calculation or to a limestone invoice, depending on context. Because it is a compound created from two common Finnish words, its exact meaning emerges from how it is used in a sentence.

In usage, kalkkikivilaskun typically appears in technical or financial contexts related to limestone. It can refer to the calculation of limestone quantities, costs, or other properties in a construction, mining, or environmental project. For example, Kalkkikivilaskun perusteella voidaan arvioida tarvittava kalkin tai kiven määrä. It can also denote an invoice for limestone materials in procurement discussions, though in practice the intended sense is usually the calculation or assessment rather than the bill itself.

Because kalkkikivilaskun is not a widely established term with a fixed definition, its meaning is determined by surrounding words. Writers often pair it with qualifiers to reduce ambiguity, such as kalkkikivilaskun kustannusarvio (cost estimate based on limestone calculation) or kalkkikivilaskun tulokset (results of the limestone calculation).
