Talk:Osakeyhtiö

Difference between English and German Wikipedia
the German version of Wikipedia translates Osakeyhtiö with "Aktiengesellschaft" which is different from "Limited Company" or GmbH. Is the english or German version correct ? --192.35.17.10 13:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Notice that Aktiengesellschaft is the literal translation of osakeyhtiö. --Vuo 14:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The difference between an OYJ (public limited company) and OY (private) is that OYJ is subject to some extra regulation, and only the shares of OYJ may be traded in a public stock exchange; trading the shares of a private limited company in a stock exchange is a crime. However, an OY may become OYJ (and vice versa), if it fills the requirements set in Osakeyhtiölaki, and majority of shares so decide. --Ztn (talk) 09:46, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Most of the stated "facts" are wrong in the first section; and some of them are in direct violation of Osakeyhtiölaki and Toiminimilaki. The entire section has to be rewritten from scratch; alas I don't have time for it.--Ztn (talk) 09:55, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

How is OY pronounced? As the full word Osakeyhtiö, as a word itself [oj], or as letternames [o y]? --Macrakis (talk) 21:44, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Mostly as letternames. Sometimes with full word Osakeyhtiö but never as a word itself. --ilaiho (talk) 11:08, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
