== Chavacano == === Etymology === Inherited from Spanish asunto (“case”). === Pronunciation === Hyphenation: a‧sun‧to === Noun === asunto case; affair == Finnish == === Etymology === asua (“to live, reside”) +‎ -nto. First attested in 1601. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɑsunto/, [ˈɑ̝s̠un̪t̪o̞] Rhymes: -ɑsunto Syllabification(key): a‧sun‧to Hyphenation(key): asun‧to === Noun === asunto home, residence; unit, housing unit, dwelling unit; dwelling, domicile, habitation (any place for living, especially one constructed for that purpose) Synonym: asumus Near-synonym: koti (in particular) flat, apartment (complete domicile occupying only part of a building) Synonyms: asuinhuoneisto (formal), huoneisto (shorter form of the previous term), (colloquial) kämppä, luukku, boksi Hyponym: kerrostaloasunto ==== Usage notes ==== The most common English translation for asunto in a general context is simply "home", although note that "home" in any sentimental sense, or in the sense of the place where someone lives, is koti, not asunto. In official use, the term unit (housing unit, dwelling unit) or dwelling may be used. residence may also be used, but it carries a somewhat formal tone. However, translating 250 asuntoa as "250 dwellings" may imply 250 separate buildings, while the Finnish phrase makes no such implication. Other possible terms include domicile, habitation and abode, but these are chiefly formal or poetic. ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== See also ==== huoneisto === Further reading === “asunto”, 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 2 July 2023 === Anagrams === nousta, osutan, suonta == Galician == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /aˈsunto/ [aˈs̺un̪.t̪ʊ] Rhymes: -unto Hyphenation: a‧sun‧to === Noun === asunto m (plural asuntos) matter, issue business ==== Further reading ==== “asunto”, in Dicionario da Real Academia Galega (in Galician), A Coruña: Royal Galician Academy, 2012–2026 == Hiligaynon == === Etymology === From Spanish asunto. === Adverb === asúnto concerning, with regard to === Noun === asúnto lawsuit == Spanish == === Etymology === From Latin assūmptus.
