vuokrattaviksi

Vuokrattaviksi is a Finnish word form used to indicate that something is available for rent or is to be rented. It is a non-finite passive infinitive form derived from the verb vuokrata (to rent). In practice it translates roughly as “to be rented” or “for rent” and is commonly seen in real estate and business contexts.

Usage of vuokrattaviksi is typical in advertisements and signs where items or spaces are offered for rental. It often appears as a stand-alone label, for example on a rental listing or a notice: vuokrattavaksi. It can also occur within a sentence to describe the status of a property, such as “Talo on vuokrattavaksi” (The house is to be rented).

Grammatical notes: vuokrattaviksi is a non-finite form, created from the passive present participle stem with the suffix -ksi to convey a state or purpose (“to be for”). It does not show person or number. Related forms include vuokrattava (adjective meaning rentable or to be rented) and vuokrataan (finite form meaning “is rented” or “are rented”). The word is especially common in listings, property portals, and market signs where the emphasis is on availability rather than a complete sentence.

Etymology: vuokrattaviksi derives from vuokrata (to rent), via the passive participle form vuokrattava and the suffix -ksi, producing a phrase that signals something is designated for rental. In English, it is typically rendered as “for rent” or “to be rented.”
