tarjousta

Tarjousta is the partitive singular form of the Finnish noun tarjous (offer or quotation). It is used when referring to an offer in an indefinite sense and appears in phrases such as pyytää tarjousta (to request an offer) or antaa tarjousta (to submit an offer).

In business contexts, a tarjousta outlines the price and terms proposed by a seller for goods or services. It typically includes the scope of work, price, delivery timetable, payment terms, taxes, and the validity period of the offer. Tarjousta may be prepared in response to a request for quotation (tarjouspyyntö) or as part of a competitive bidding process (kilpailutus). The buyer can compare different offers and decide which to accept; accepting an offer can lead to a contract under applicable law and the terms stated in the offer.

Outside formal procurement, tarjousta-related language is commonly used in consumer commerce to describe promotional offers. This includes discount prices and limited-time deals, often expressed with terms such as tarjoushinta (offer price).
