Elektronilta

Elektronilta is a Finnish linguistic term referring to the elatiivi (elative) case form of the noun elektron(i) meaning "electron." In Finnish grammar, the elatiivi case marks origin or starting point, and elektronilta functions as "from the electron." The form is primarily found in scientific, descriptive, or scholarly Finnish where specifying the source of a property, effect, or quantity is relevant.

Usage and nuance: Elektronilta is used when the source is a single electron or a small group of electrons considered as the origin. It is less common in everyday language but typical in physics, chemistry, and microscale discussions. The phrase can introduce clauses or modifier phrases; examples include "elektronilta lähtevä säteily" (radiation emanating from the electron) and "elektronilta peräisin oleva energia" (energy derived from the electron).

Relation to other forms: The elatiivi form elektronilta contrasts with other inflectional forms such as elektronin (genitive) and elektronit (nominative plural). Elektronilta is one of several inflectional variants used to express origin, source, or movement away from something in Finnish. See also Finnish grammar, elatiivi, elektron.
