hyötyä

This is the 642nd most frequent Finnish word.


hyötyä

To benefit.


Notice the verb 'hyötyä', which means 'to benefit from'; it is followed by an elative case to indicate the source of the benefit, here 'kaikista opiskelumahdollisuuksista' (all educational opportunities).

Here 'hyötyä' is used to mean gaining advantage or benefit, with the source clearly specified in the elative case again.

In this context, 'hyötyä' is used as a verb meaning 'to benefit from', indicating taking advantage of or making use of an opportunity.
