vuositasoisesta

vuositasoisesta is a form of the Finnish adjective vuositasoinen, which literally means “annual” or “yearly.” The word is composed of the noun vuosi “year” and the suffix –tasoinen, which creates an adjective meaning “lasting or occurring within a specified period.” The ending –stä is a Finnish case ending indicating the from/ablative case (or partitive in some contexts), so vuositasoisesta can be translated as “from the annual (plan)” or “in the yearly manner.”

The term is commonly used in Finnish legal, financial and administrative texts, where it denotes procedures, budgets or provisions that recur every calendar year. For instance, a vuosi­tasoinen budjetti is a yearly budget, and a vuosi­tasoinen kulu refers to a yearly expense. In everyday speech, people also use the noun vuositaso (“annual rate”), especially in discussions about wages, interest rates or insurance premiums that are calculated on a yearly basis.

Etymologically, vuositasoinen is derived from the noun vuosi and the suffix –sointi, which is a productive Finnish adjective-forming morpheme. The form parallels other Finnish derivations such as täytyy (“must”) from the root tieda, and the suffix –mmin from the comparative –mm. The term appears in many official documents, such as the Finnish Tax Administration’s yearly tax provisions and school curricula scheduling.
