korotukseltaan

Korotukseltaan is a Finnish word that translates to "in terms of interest" or "regarding interest." It is typically used in financial contexts, particularly when discussing loans, investments, or savings accounts. The word is formed from the Finnish word "korko," meaning interest, and the adessive case ending "-ltaan," which denotes "from" or "regarding."

When "korotukseltaan" is used, it signifies that the subsequent discussion or statement pertains specifically to the interest rate or the interest earned/paid. For example, a sentence like "Laina on edullinen korotukseltaan" would mean "The loan is affordable in terms of its interest rate." Similarly, "Sijoitus on tuottava korotukseltaan" translates to "The investment is profitable in terms of its interest."

The term helps to precisely define the aspect of a financial product being discussed, differentiating it from other features such as the principal amount, fees, or loan term. It ensures clarity and avoids ambiguity in financial communication, especially in written documents or formal agreements. Understanding "korotukseltaan" is key to comprehending financial details in Finnish.
