maksuttaa

Maksuttaa is a Finnish verb that translates to "to pay for" or "to make someone pay." It is the causative form of the verb "maksaa," which means "to pay." The verb "maksuttaa" implies that the subject is causing or arranging for something to be paid for, rather than paying directly themselves. This can involve paying for another person's expenses, or ensuring that a debt or cost is settled by someone else. For example, one might say "Maksutan laskun yrityksellä" which means "I will have the company pay the bill." The nuance of "maksuttaa" lies in the indirect nature of the payment. It's about facilitating or ordering a payment to occur, often by delegating the responsibility or expense to another entity or individual. The verb can be used in various contexts, from personal arrangements to business transactions, always carrying the connotation of causing a payment to be made by or through an agent or responsible party.
