Autonomisesta

Autonomisesta is a Finnish grammatical form of the adjective autonominen, functioning as the elative singular form. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, and the elative expresses origin or movement away from something. Therefore autonomisesta is used with a noun in the elative case to mean “from the autonomous …” or “of the autonomous …” in context.

The form autonomisesta appears when an adjective ending in -inen is used with a noun in the elative singular. For example, autonomisesta alueesta means “from the autonomous region.” As with other Finnish adjectives, the ending changes with different cases and numbers, so the elative singular autonomisesta contrasts with the inessive autonomisessa (in the autonomous) or the partitive autonomista (an autonomous …).

Use and context: autonomisesta is common in written and spoken Finnish when indicating origin, source, or movement away from something described as autonomous. It can accompany nouns representing political autonomy, autonomous regions, autonomous devices, or other autonomous entities. The form is a standard element of Finnish grammar and is not a separate lexical item beyond the adjective autonominen.

Notes: Autonomisesta should not be confused with autonominen as a base adjective or with other inflected forms such as autonomisista (elative plural) or autonomisesta, which appear in different grammatical contexts. The choice of form depends on the noun’s number and case in the sentence.
