Questions & Answers about Tiedoksianto saapui sähköpostitse.
What does tiedoksianto mean exactly? Is it just message or notification?
Tiedoksianto is more formal than an everyday message. It usually means an official notification, formal notice, or service of notice/document in administrative or legal language.
It comes from:
- tieto = information, knowledge
- antaa = to give
So the idea is something like giving information officially.
In normal everyday Finnish, people would more often say things like:
- viesti = message
- ilmoitus = announcement, notice
But tiedoksianto sounds bureaucratic or official.
Why is it saapui and not saapunut or saapuii?
