When you want to apply for something, you make a hakemus. This word means an application, like for a job or a school.
For example, if you want to get into a university, you fill out a hakemus. If you are looking for work, you send a job hakemus.
It's important to make a good hakemus so you have a better chance.
§ Understanding 'Hakemus' and Its Use
Alright, let's talk about 'hakemus'. This word is straightforward, but its usage can trip up English speakers. 'Hakemus' means 'an application'. It's a noun. Simple, right? Not always. The most common mistakes come from trying to apply English grammatical structures directly to Finnish, especially with verbs and prepositions.
- DEFINITION
- An application. This can be for a job, a permit, a grant, or anything you officially apply for.
§ Mistake 1: Confusing 'hakemus' with the verb 'apply'
The biggest mistake is thinking 'hakemus' is a verb. It's not. 'Hakemus' is a noun. To 'apply' in Finnish, you'd use the verb 'hakea'. So, you submit a 'hakemus' (an application), you don't 'hakemus' (apply).
Minä teen hakemuksen huomenna. (I will make an application tomorrow.)
Minä haen työtä. (I apply for a job.)
§ Mistake 2: Incorrect Case Usage with 'Hakemus'
Finnish has cases, and 'hakemus' is no exception. English speakers often struggle with which case to use when combining 'hakemus' with other words. For example, if you want to say 'job application', you'd use the genitive case for 'työ' (job) to make 'työhakemus'. It's not 'työ hakemus'.
- Job application: työhakemus (työ + hakemus)
- Study application: opiskeluhakemus (opiskelu + hakemus)
- Visa application: viisumihakemus (viisumi + hakemus)
Täytän työhakemuksen. (I am filling out the job application.)
§ Mistake 3: Saying 'make an application' vs. 'fill out an application' or 'submit an application'
In English, we say 'make an application', 'fill out an application', or 'submit an application'. In Finnish, the most common verbs used with 'hakemus' are 'tehdä' (to make), 'täyttää' (to fill out), and 'jättää' (to submit/leave).
- To make an application: tehdä hakemus
- To fill out an application: täyttää hakemus
- To submit an application: jättää hakemus
Minun pitää tehdä hakemus yliopistoon. (I need to make an application to the university.)
Olen täyttänyt hakemuksen eilen. (I filled out the application yesterday.)
Muista jättää hakemus ajoissa. (Remember to submit the application on time.)
§ Mistake 4: Using the wrong postposition/preposition equivalent
English uses prepositions like 'for' in 'application for a job'. Finnish uses cases or sometimes postpositions. You wouldn't say 'hakemus for työ'. Instead, you'd integrate the purpose into the word itself (as shown in Mistake 2 with 'työhakemus') or use a construction that indicates purpose or destination.
For example, if you're talking about an application to a place, you'd often use the illative case:
Hakemus yliopistoon. (Application to the university.)
If you're talking about an application about something, it gets a bit trickier, and often the context or a compound noun handles it.
§ Recap: Keep it Simple
The key with 'hakemus' is to remember its core meaning: it's the document or the request itself. It's a noun. Build your sentences around that. Don't try to force English sentence structures onto Finnish. Pay attention to compound words and case endings, and you'll be fine.
How Formal Is It?
"Työttömyysturvahakemus tulee täyttää huolellisesti. (The unemployment benefit application must be filled carefully.)"
"Jätin hakemuksen kesätyöpaikkaa varten. (I submitted an application for a summer job.)"
"Laitoin hakemuksen sisään siihen uuteen kämppään. (I put in an application for that new apartment.)"
"Laitetaan toive joulupukille lahjasta. (Let's send a wish to Santa for a present.)"
"Haku päällä uuteen duuniin. (Application in progress for a new job.)"
Wichtige Grammatik
When referring to 'an application' in general or as the subject of a sentence, use the nominative form: 'hakemus'.
Hakemus on jätettävä ajoissa. (The application must be submitted on time.)
When you are talking about 'of an application' or possession, use the genitive form: 'hakemuksen'.
Hakemuksen sisältö. (The content of the application.)
When you are saying 'to the application' or 'for the application', use the illative form: 'hakemukseen'.

When you are saying 'in an application' or 'from an application', use the elative form: 'hakemuksesta'.
Puuttuvat tiedot hakemuksesta. (Missing information from the application.)
When you are saying 'by means of an application' or 'with an application', use the instructive or comitative form depending on context, though often a different construction is more natural. For 'with an application' in the sense of 'along with an application', use 'hakemuksen kanssa'.

This sentence structure is common when discussing the status of an application. 'Hakemuksemme' (our application) starts the sentence, followed by 'on nyt käsittelyssä' (is now under review), and then 'ja odotamme päätöstä' (and we await a decision).
This is a practical instruction for filling out forms. 'Varmista, että' (make sure that) introduces the requirement, 'täytät kaikki vaaditut kentät' (you fill all required fields), and 'ennen kuin lähetät hakemuksen' (before you send the application) specifies the timing.
This sentence describes an application being accepted despite challenges. 'Heidän hakemuksensa' (their application) is the subject, 'hyväksyttiin' (was accepted), and 'huolimatta viime hetken muutoksista' (despite last-minute changes) provides the context.
