Akteista

Akteista is a Finnish lexical form meaning “from the files” or “of the files.” It is the elative plural form of the noun akta, which refers to a collection of documents, a dossier, or a case file kept in an archive, registry, or administrative system. The word is used to indicate origin or source information that comes from such files, rather than from memory or secondary summaries.

Akte is a formal or technical term commonly found in archival, legal, administrative, and historical contexts. In these domains, akta can denote patient records, case files, municipal records, or other organized document sets. The elative plural akteista appears when speaking about information sourced from multiple files or when describing data derived from the files of a particular matter.

Usage and nuance: Akteista signals provenance and reliability tied to original documents. It is not typically used in everyday conversation; more common synonyms in everyday language include tiedot (information), asiakirjat (documents), or dokumentit. In academic writing or official reports, akteista may be used to emphasize primary-source material.

Examples:

- Aineisto akteista osoittaa, että todisteet olivat tallessa arkistossa. (The material from the files shows that the evidence was kept in the archive.)

- Perustelut löytyivät akteista, jotka koskivat tapausta. (The justification was found in the files concerning the case.)
