katuosoitteita

Katuosoitteita refers to street addresses in Finnish. A street address typically consists of a street name and a building number. For example, "Mannerheimintie 1" is a common street address in Helsinki, Finland. The street name is "Mannerheimintie" and the building number is "1".

In Finland, street names are often descriptive or historical. Building numbers usually increase as one moves along the street, though exceptions and irregularities can occur. In apartment buildings, the apartment number is often indicated after the street address, separated by a letter or hyphen, such as "Mannerheimintie 1 A 15". This specifies the apartment within the building.

Postal codes are also an integral part of a complete Finnish address. These are five-digit numbers that help sort mail efficiently. The postal code is placed before the municipality name. For instance, a full address might look like "00100 Helsinki".

When writing an address for mail, the recipient's name is placed on the first line, followed by the street address on the second line, and the postal code and municipality on the third line. Foreign addresses follow a similar structure but may require additional country information. Understanding Finnish katuosoitteita is essential for anyone sending or receiving mail in Finland or for navigating the country.
