Alaisilta

Alaisilta is a Finnish word meaning “from subordinates.” It is the elative plural form of the noun alainen, which denotes a person who is under someone else’s authority. In Finnish, the elative case is used to indicate origin or source, so alaisilta is used to attribute information, statements, or testimony to people in subordinate positions within an organization. It is common in formal or administrative writing to emphasize that a statement comes from those lower in the hierarchy, such as in reports, interviews, or qualitative notes.

In practice, alaisilta is usually part of a larger noun phrase, for example alaisilta saatujen tietojen mukaan (according to information obtained from subordinates) or alaisilta kuultujen kertomusten perusteella (based on accounts heard from subordinates). It functions as a simple way to indicate source origin without naming individuals. The usage is primarily organizational or bureaucratic and does not constitute a separate technical term with a defined theory or methodology.

Alaisilta is not ordinarily used as a standalone proper noun. There is no widely recognized place, organization, or work officially named “Alaisilta.” If encountered as a title or brand, it would be a proper noun chosen by an author or designer and should be understood as such within that specific context.
