asua (“to live”) +‎ -nto

• IPA^(key): /ˈɑsunto/, [ˈɑ̝s̠un̪t̪o̞]
• Rhymes: -ɑsunto
• Hyphenation^(key): asun‧to

asunto

1. home, residence, housing unit, dwelling unit, unit (any place, especially a constructed place, where one lives or can live)

   Synonym: asumus

   Near-synonym: koti

2. (in particular) flat, apartment in a larger building

   Synonyms: (colloquial) kämppä, luukku, boksi

   Hyponym: kerrostaloasunto

Usually called "apartments (UK: flats) and other homes" or simply "homes" in English, including the media, except in official use. In official use, the term housing unit or dwelling unit (and their abbreviation unit) is more common. The terms residence, abode, dwelling, habitation, and domicile are rare, formal, or even misleading. The common translation of, for example, "250 asuntoa" as "250 dwellings" is usually misunderstood to mean 250 separate buildings. However, note that "home" in any sentimental sense, or in the sense of the place where someone lives, is koti, not asunto.
