Usage notesEdit

• (to issue): The passive past participle of this verb is also used when the name of an Act of the Finnish Parliament consisting of laki and an elative qualifier needs inflecting. In other words, in the nominative case the act No. 684/2015 is known as laki eräistä asbestipurkutyötä koskevista vaatimuksista 'the Act on Certain Requirements Concerning Asbestos Removal Work'. In the inessive case, the name is pronounced in legislative texts as eräistä asbestipurkutyötä koskevista vaatimuksista annetussa laissa 'in the Act (issued) on Certain Requirements Concerning Asbestos Removal Work'.
• (to consent to have sex): This usage means very often that the person consenting to have sex is the submissive party, not necessarily enjoying the activity that much.
