Asunnosta

Asunnosta is the elative case form of the Finnish noun asunto, meaning apartment or dwelling. It expresses origin or starting point and is used with verbs of movement or phrases indicating source, often translated as “from the apartment.” It contrasts with other cases such as asunnossa (in the apartment) and asuntoon (into the apartment).

Morphology and usage: The singular elative form is asunnosta, and the plural elative is asunnoista. The base noun forms are asunto (nominative), asunnon (genitive), asuntoa (partitive), asunnossa (inessive), and asuntoon (illative). The elative suffix sta/stä attaches to the appropriate stem, with expected assimilation for Finnish phonology.

Examples:

- Hän tuli asunnosta. (He came from the apartment.)

- Lähdin asunnosta jo aikaisin aamulla. (I left the apartment earlier in the morning.)

In other contexts, asunnosta marks a source or starting point in discussions about movement, origin, or data reported from a location.

Notes: Asunnosta is part of a family of case forms built on asunto. It should not be confused with inessive asunnossa (in the apartment) or illative asuntoon (into the apartment). Understanding elative forms helps in parsing sentences that describe origins, transfers, or movements related to living spaces.
