Erityisistä

Erityisistä is the elative plural form of the Finnish adjective erityinen, meaning “special” or “particular.” It is used when the noun it describes is plural and in the elative case, which in Finnish expresses origin, source, or basis in a phrase. In practice, erityisistä appears most often in expressions such as “erityisistä syistä” (for special reasons) or “erityisistä vaatimuksista” (from special requirements).

Finnish adjectives decline to agree with the nouns they modify, and the elative plural suffix for this type of adjective is -isistä. Therefore the form is built on the stem erityis- followed by -istä. This form is not independent; it functions as an inflected descriptor within a larger noun phrase.

Other common inflected forms of the adjective erityinen include erityisen (genitive singular), erityistä (partitive singular), erityisiä (partitive plural), erityiset (nominative plural), and erityisten (genitive plural). These forms show how the same base word changes to match different grammatical roles and numbers.

Usage notes: erityisistä is an inflected form of erityinen and does not stand alone as a noun. It typically modifies a plural noun in contexts indicating origin, cause, or specification, such as in phrases describing why something is done or what requirements apply. Examples include “erityisistä syistä johtuen” and “erityisistä vaatimuksista huolimatta.”
