1900luvulta

1900luvulta is a form that appears in Finnish-language texts as a variant of the standard phrase 1900-luvulta, meaning “from the 1900s” or “from the 20th century.” In proper Finnish, the usual spelling uses a hyphen and the suffix -lulta to indicate origin, i.e., 1900-luvulta. The non-diacritic rendering 1900luvulta is typically encountered as a typographical simplification, in digital contexts without proper character support, or as a stylistic choice. It is not recognized as a separate, widely used name for a person, organization, place, or defined concept.

Usage and interpretation

The expression is commonly used to denote provenance or dating of artifacts, documents, or cultural materials. Examples include phrases like “1900-luvulta peräisin olevat valokuvat” (photographs dating from the 1900s) or “1900-luvulta peräisin oleva kirjallisuus” (literature from the early 20th century). The exact century portion referenced can depend on context, but it generally signals material from the early to mid-20th century rather than earlier or later eras.

Relation to other terms

As a bibliographic or cataloging note, 1900-luvulta may appear to mark origin rather than content. It is distinct from specific topics about events of a decade (the 1900s) or broader discussions of the 20th century, which would use more explicit phrasing.
