asetus

== Finnish == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɑsetus/, [ˈɑ̝s̠e̞t̪us̠] Rhymes: -ɑsetus Syllabification(key): a‧se‧tus Hyphenation(key): ase‧tus === Etymology 1 === asettaa (“to place, set”) +‎ -us. Originally “placing, setting”; the legal sense “decree” from the Middle Ages, probably as a semantic loan from another language (compare German Gesetz from setzen), perhaps a semantic loan from Middle Low German gesette. ==== Noun ==== asetus (law) decree; executive order (regulation that is subordinate to legislative statutes, specifies them or lays down how they are actually implemented) [with elative ‘on, concerning’] (European Union law) regulation (self-effecting legislative act, which requires no further intervention by the Member States to become law) (computing, electronics) setting, (in the plural) settings, configuration (religious) ordinance synonym of asettaminen (“placing, setting”) ===== Usage notes ===== (decree; executive order): In Finnish legislation, asetus is a legal statute inferior to laki and it may be issued by the Government, the President of the Republic, or an individual ministry of Finland. Officially, the term decree is used as the sole translation of asetus into English, regardless of the issuing body. As an asetus functions as an instrument that specifies the terminology of a laki or the implementation thereof, and is enforceable only if it is in accordance therewith, it is analogically used as a translation of executive order issued by a US President. ===== Declension ===== ===== Derived terms ===== ==== See also ==== julistus määräys laki perustuslaki luku pykälä momentti määritys ==== References ==== ==== Further reading ==== “asetus”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 1 July 2023 === Etymology 2 === ==== Verb ==== asetus second-person singular present imperative of asettua (with enclitic -s) === Anagrams === asuste, etsaus, tuessa
